|
A scripting language is a type of programming language that lets you control and extend the functionality of a software application.
Strata offers a powerful scripting language that enables you to use to perform tasks like coding data analysis routines, interacting with local and web resources and creating new applications using the Strata data engine. The scripting language is an implementation of the ECMAscript (e.g. Javascript) with bindings for SQL and HTTP and includes a class implementation so you can use web APIs and create desktop mashups.
Please see the following sections to learn more about using scripting, SQL and extensions:
Opening, Saving and Running Scripts Using Structured Query Language (SQL) with the Console Panel and Outputting Script Results
Additional Online Resources
There are many resources freely available on the web and in technical books that explain how to develop using ECMAscripts. Due to the extensive information related to our implementation of ECMAscript, we provide the language and bindings documentation directly on our website.
In particular, it would be useful to start with the article on Creating, Saving and Running Scripts. Secondly, the Managing Scripts section is also useful for beginners. The full scripting API is also available online.
Please see this information as well as our help section, tips & tricks blog, and user forums for further information on developing scripts. In addition, please contact us if you have any questions about using the scripting syntax.
