AQS

What is AQS?

CausewayOne Asset Management is built upon a non-relational database. This provides great performance and flexibility but isn't compatible with standard query languages like SQL. No problem, we made our own to use instead!

AQS stands for Asset Query Syntax. It lets you query your data in CausewayOne Asset Management, enabling you to fetch data items that meet specific conditions, view their attribute data and calculate numerical statistics.

Use our AQS Builder to construct your queries visually, one stage at a time. No coding required! For those who do like to code, you can write AQS queries in JSON format (see the Developer Docs).

CausewayOne Asset Management itself uses AQS to fetch data behind the scenes. For example, Asset Classic uses AQS to display:

• the attribute data of queried items in the Data Explorer

• relevant items in layer styles on the map

• the total count of various items in dashboard cards
