Since the Google Cloud Datastore <https://cloud.google.com/datastore/> is a highly-scalable NoSQL non-relational database, interactions with the Datastore are optimized for direct API calls <https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/reference/libraries#client-libraries-install-java>, and not for SQL-like languages such as GQL.
As explained in the documentation <https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/reference/gql_reference>, GQL is a limited SQL query language which can be used for SQL-like queries on the Datastore. GQL is not available in all Datastore API languages, but it is available for the Java Client Library <http://googlecloudplatform.github.io/google-cloud-java/0.20.1/apidocs/com/google/cloud/datastore/GqlQuery.html>. The Cloud Console <https://console.cloud.google.com/datastore/entities/query/gql>GQL console should only be used for simple/quick and board overview of your data. If you are instead looking for SQL support for a highly-scalable database, I would recommend looking into Google Cloud Spanner <https://cloud.google.com/spanner/> instead. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
