# Query Workbench
Query Workbench is a tool within OpenSearch Dashboards. You can use Query Workbench to run on-demand [SQL]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/sql/sql/index/) and [PPL]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/sql/ppl/index/) queries, translate queries into their equivalent REST API calls, and view and save results in different [response formats]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/sql/response-formats/).
A view of the Query Workbench interface within OpenSearch Dashboards is shown in the following image.
<img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/dashboards/query-workbench-ui.png" alt="Query Workbench interface within OpenSearch Dashboards" width="700">
## Prerequisites
Before getting started, make sure you have [indexed your data]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/im-plugin/index/).
For this tutorial, you can index the following sample documents. Alternatively, you can use the [OpenSearch Playground](https://playground.opensearch.org/app/opensearch-query-workbench#/), which has preloaded indexes that you can use to try out Query Workbench.
To index sample documents, send the following [Bulk API]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/document-apis/bulk/) request:
```json
PUT accounts/_bulk?refresh
{"index":{"_id":"1"}}
{"account_number":1,"balance":39225,"firstname":"Amber","lastname":"Duke","age":32,"gender":"M","address":"880 Holmes Lane","employer":"Pyrami","email":"amberduke@pyrami.com","city":"Brogan","state":"IL"}
{"index":{"_id":"6"}}
{"account_number":6,"balance":5686,"firstname":"Hattie","lastname":"Bond","age":36,"gender":"M","address":"671 Bristol Street","employer":"Netagy","email":"hattiebond@netagy.com","city":"Dante","state":"TN"}
{"index":{"_id":"13"}}
{"account_number":13,"balance":32838,"firstname":"Nanette","lastname":"Bates","age":28,"gender":"F","address":"789 Madison Street","employer":"Quility","email":"nanettebates@quility.com","city":"Nogal","state":"VA"}
{"index":{"_id":"18"}}
{"account_number":18,"balance":4180,"firstname":"Dale","lastname":"Adams","age":33,"gender":"M","address":"467 Hutchinson Court","email":"daleadams@boink.com","city":"Orick","state":"MD"}

## Running SQL queries within Query Workbench
Follow these steps to learn how to run SQL queries against your OpenSearch data using Query Workbench:
1. Access Query Workbench.
- To access Query Workbench, go to OpenSearch Dashboards and choose **OpenSearch Plugins** > **Query Workbench** from the main menu.
2. Run a query.
- Select the **SQL** button. In the query editor, type a SQL expression and then select the **Run** button to run the query.
The following example query retrieves the first name, last name, and balance from the `accounts` index for accounts with a balance greater than 10,000 and sorts by balance in descending order:
```sql
SELECT
firstname,
lastname,
balance
FROM
accounts
WHERE
balance > 10000
ORDER BY
balance DESC;
```
{% include copy.html %}
3. View the results.
- View the results in the **Results** pane, which presents the query output in tabular format. You can filter and download the results as needed.
The following image shows the query editor pane and results pane for the preceding SQL query:
<img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/dashboards/query-workbench-query-step2.png" alt="Query Workbench SQL query input and results output panes" width="800">
4. Clear the query editor.

# PPL &ndash; Piped Processing Language
# PPL
Piped Processing Language (PPL) is a query language that lets you use pipe (`|`) syntax to explore, discover, and query data stored in OpenSearch.
Piped Processing Language (PPL) is a query language that focuses on processing data in a sequential, step-by-step manner. PPL uses the pipe (`|`) operator to combine commands to find and retrieve data. It is the primary language used with observability in OpenSearch and supports multi-data queries.
To quickly get up and running with PPL, use **Query Workbench** in OpenSearch Dashboards. To learn more, see [Workbench]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/sql/workbench/).
## PPL syntax
The PPL syntax consists of commands delimited by the pipe character (`|`) where data flows from left to right through each pipeline.
The following example shows the basic PPL syntax:
```sql
search command | command 1 | command 2 ...
search source=<index-name> | <command_1> | <command_2> | ... | <command_n>
```
{% include copy.html %}
You can only use read-only commands like `search`, `where`, `fields`, `rename`, `dedup`, `stats`, `sort`, `eval`, `head`, `top`, and `rare`.
See [Syntax]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/sql/ppl/syntax/) for specific PPL syntax examples.
## Quick start
## PPL commands
To get started with PPL, choose **Dev Tools** in OpenSearch Dashboards and use the `bulk` operation to index some sample data:
PPL filters, transforms, and aggregates data using a series of commands. See [Commands](/search-plugins/sql/ppl/functions/) for a description and an example of each command.
```json
PUT accounts/_bulk?refresh
{"index":{"_id":"1"}}
{"account_number":1,"balance":39225,"firstname":"Amber","lastname":"Duke","age":32,"gender":"M","address":"880 Holmes Lane","employer":"Pyrami","email":"amberduke@pyrami.com","city":"Brogan","state":"IL"}
{"index":{"_id":"6"}}
{"account_number":6,"balance":5686,"firstname":"Hattie","lastname":"Bond","age":36,"gender":"M","address":"671 Bristol Street","employer":"Netagy","email":"hattiebond@netagy.com","city":"Dante","state":"TN"}
{"index":{"_id":"13"}}
{"account_number":13,"balance":32838,"firstname":"Nanette","lastname":"Bates","age":28,"gender":"F","address":"789 Madison Street","employer":"Quility","city":"Nogal","state":"VA"}
{"index":{"_id":"18"}}
{"account_number":18,"balance":4180,"firstname":"Dale","lastname":"Adams","age":33,"gender":"M","address":"467 Hutchinson Court","email":"daleadams@boink.com","city":"Orick","state":"MD"}
```
## Using PPL within OpenSearch
Go to **Query Workbench** and select **PPL**.
To use PPL, you must have installed OpenSearch Dashboards. PPL is available within the [Query Workbench tool](https://playground.opensearch.org/app/opensearch-query-workbench#/). See the [Query Workbench]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/dashboards/query-workbench/) documentation for a tutorial on using PPL within OpenSearch.
The following example returns `firstname` and `lastname` fields for documents in an `accounts` index with `age` greater than 18:
## Developer documentation
```sql
search source=accounts
| where age > 18
| fields firstname, lastname
```

# SQL/PPL API
# SQL and PPL API
Use the SQL and PPL API to send queries to the SQL plugin. Use the `_sql` endpoint to send queries in SQL, and the `_ppl` endpoint to send queries in PPL. For both of these, you can also use the `_explain` endpoint to translate your query into [OpenSearch domain-specific language]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/query-dsl/) (DSL) or to troubleshoot errors.

# Query Workbench
Use the Query Workbench to easily run on-demand SQL queries, translate SQL into its REST equivalent, and view and save results as text, JSON, JDBC, or CSV.
## Quick start
To get started with SQL Workbench, choose **Dev Tools** in OpenSearch Dashboards and use the `bulk` operation to index some sample data:
```json
PUT accounts/_bulk?refresh
{"index":{"_id":"1"}}
{"account_number":1,"balance":39225,"firstname":"Amber","lastname":"Duke","age":32,"gender":"M","address":"880 Holmes Lane","employer":"Pyrami","email":"amberduke@pyrami.com","city":"Brogan","state":"IL"}
{"index":{"_id":"6"}}
{"account_number":6,"balance":5686,"firstname":"Hattie","lastname":"Bond","age":36,"gender":"M","address":"671 Bristol Street","employer":"Netagy","email":"hattiebond@netagy.com","city":"Dante","state":"TN"}
{"index":{"_id":"13"}}
{"account_number":13,"balance":32838,"firstname":"Nanette","lastname":"Bates","age":28,"gender":"F","address":"789 Madison Street","employer":"Quility","email":"nanettebates@quility.com","city":"Nogal","state":"VA"}

{"account_number":18,"balance":4180,"firstname":"Dale","lastname":"Adams","age":33,"gender":"M","address":"467 Hutchinson Court","email":"daleadams@boink.com","city":"Orick","state":"MD"}
```
Then return to SQL Workbench.
### List indexes
To list all your indexes:
```sql
SHOW TABLES LIKE %
```
| TABLE_NAME
| :---
| accounts
### Read data
After you index a document, retrieve it using the following SQL expression:
```sql
SELECT *
FROM accounts
WHERE _id = 1
```
| account_number | firstname | gender | city | balance | employer | state | email | address | lastname | age
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :---
| 1 | Amber | M | Brogan | 39225 | Pyrami | IL | amberduke@pyrami.com | 880 Holmes Lane | Duke | 32
### Delete data
To delete a document from an index, use the `DELETE` clause:
```sql
DELETE
FROM accounts
WHERE _id = 0
```
| deleted_rows
