    • Version 3.0 Changes (2022-01-11)

    Warning

    This page describes the ForePaaS Legacy Platform, which no longer accepts new signups. If you are using OVHcloud Data Platform, see the Analytics Manager documentation.

    The Analytics Manager is the name of version 3 of the Query Builder on the Platform. This page lists all significant changes.

    1. Dataset tab

    The dataset tab from the classic Query Builder no longer exists in the Analytics Manager. All the information about tables names and number of rows are now found in the tables page of the Data Manager.

    2. New queries

    In the Analytics Manager, it is possible to create and run queries in any of two ways:

    • Using a visual point-and-click builder: the interface has been revamped for a much more comfortable use, namely the addition of an Order section to sort your results!
    • Using SQL: new, directly query your tables in SQL!

    3. What happens to my existing queries?

    Queries that were created in the classic Query Builder will be migrated to the new Analytics Manager, into the queries tab.

    If applicable, they will still be linked to your apps through the same request_id, without needing to change anything.

    Please note that the new Analytics Manager interface doesn’t allow for editing advanced JSON parameters anymore. As such, such advanced options that were added in your queries in the classic Query Builder will not be editable in the new Analytics Manager. However, the migrated queries will still be saved with them and as such will return the same result as in the classic Query Builder upon execution.

    4. Versioning of queries

    Queries are now versioned at the repository level, instead of at the query level like in the classic Query Builder.

    Use the the platform versioning system to manage production and development frameworks, and work on your analytics without breaking your deployed applications.

    5. Query engines

    It is now possible to activate a query engine in the Analytics Manager.

    Query engines allow you to scale your queries both vertically and horizontally, especially for Big Data analytics, and give you access to unique new features: SQL querying, query history, query execution metrics, fine-grained data access control (coming soon!), and more.
