What is equivalent to a SQL WHERE clause in aggregates?

In aggregates, the equivalent to a SQL WHERE clause is the Aggregate Filter. This component is specifically designed to restrict the data that is retrieved based on certain conditions, similar to how a WHERE clause limits the rows returned in a SQL query. When using an Aggregate Filter, developers can define criteria that the data must meet, ensuring that only the relevant records are processed or displayed in the application.

Using the Aggregate Filter helps in optimizing queries by allowing developers to focus on specific subsets of data, thereby improving performance and providing more targeted results for front-end applications. This functionality is vital in scenarios where business logic requires specific data pulls based on user input or predefined conditions.

On the other hand, options like Aggregate Sorting, Aggregate Source, and Aggregate Test Values serve different purposes within the context of aggregates and do not function to limit or filter the data as a WHERE clause does in SQL. Aggregate Sorting pertains to how results are ordered, Aggregate Source refers to the data source for the aggregate, and Aggregate Test Values are used during development to simulate or represent data within the aggregate but do not influence the data returned from the query.
