Business Intelligence with ArangoDB and AQL
This article shows you how to use Nucleon BI Studio with ArangoDB and ArangoDB Query Language ( AQL).
Build DataSet with AQL Query
Nucleon BI support native ArangoDB query languge (AQL) for data selection, projection, aggregation, filtering and sorting. AQL is designed for advanced data quering and data mining. Nucleon BI support also ArangoDB and RDBMS data combinations into an single DataSet. It allows to merge two different type of data sources (RDBMS, Key-Value, Document) into a single DataSet for reportig, charting and other visualizations.

DataSets for Visualization
DataSet items contains AQL script to retrieve data. Nucleon BI Studio executes the ArangoDB Query (AQL) on then database and retrieves the results as an flat table and tree data format. The result of queries is used for Reporting, Charting, PowerViews, Cross-Table Views, Single Web Pages and other visualiuation components.
