For more detailed information on SDQL including manuals and videos go HERE
The syntax for access to the NBA team data is: game
reference:parameter. To see the date, team, and opponent where the team scored
+120 points after scoring +120 runs in the previous game use the SDQL:
date,team,o:team@points>120 and p:points>120
The syntax for access to
the NBA player data:
[team:]player name:game reference:parameter. To see the date, team, opponent and
number of points by Kobe Bryant in the game after he scored more than 30 use the
SDQL: date,team,o:team,Kobe Bryant:points@Kobe Bryant:p:points>30
Query Fundamentals:
A query consists of one or more clauses joined by and or or.
Examples:
The query:
50 < Kobe Bryant : points
and
site = away
The explain:
returns home games where Kobe Bryant scored more than 50 points on the road
If no player is given then results for the team are checked. E.g.
The query:
120 < Bulls : points
and
site = home
returns games in which the Bulls scored more than 120 points at home
points < 60
returns games when the team scored fewer than 60 points
Multiple conditions can be imposed using a comma delimited format.
points < 90,100,110
gives results grouped by points < 90, points < 100, and points < 110
You can comma-group on both sides of the inequality as per:
70,80,90,100 < points < 90,100,110
