Simple Usage
Operators
Comparison Operators
Operator | Name |
---|---|
= | Equal |
!= | Not Equal |
< | Less Than |
> | Greater Than |
<= | Less Than or Equal To |
>= | Greater Than or Equal To |
LIKE | Pattern Match |
Logical Operators
Operator | Name |
---|---|
AND | Match both conditions |
OR | Match either condition |
Case Sensitivity
Note that PMQL syntax is not case sensitive. However, queries are case sensitive. For example, if querying for a string, PMQL will return results only if the case matches your query exactly. This may be bypassed by utilizing the lower(field)
syntax. Examples are provided below.
Casting
Fields can be cast to various data types using the cast(field as type)
syntax. Currently supported types are text and number. Examples are provided below.
Dates
Strings entered in the format "YYYY-MM-DD"
are interpreted as dates and can be used in comparative queries. Dates can be compared dynamically based on the current time utilizing the now
keyword. Arithmetic operations can be performed on dates using the date (+ or -)number interval
syntax. The interval can be either day
, hour
, minute
, or second
. Examples are provided below.
Syntax Examples

id | first_name | last_name | position | dob | experience | starter |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Casting To Number
What if a field we want to compare mathematically is stored as a string instead of an integer? No problem. We can simply cast it as a number.
Let's say our dataset has changed to store the experience field as a string but we want to find all players with 2 years of experience or less.
Query
Result
id | first_name | last_name | position | dob | experience | starter |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
19 | JiSu | Park | center | 1998-12-06 | 1 | false |
10 | Kelsey | Plum | guard | 1994-08-24 | 2 | true |
22 | A'ja | Wilson | forward | 1996-08-08 | 1 | true |
0 | Jackie | Young | guard | 1997-09-16 | 0 | true |

Dynamic Date Comparison
Find players under 25 as of right now. We utilize the now
keyword and subtract 9,125 days (365 * 25 = 9,125).

Pattern Matching
We can use the LIKE
operator to perform pattern matching with a field. %
is a wildcard which matches zero, one, or more characters. _
is a wildcard which matches one character.
