I thought I’d share one of my favorite newish parts of ServiceNow: the GlideQuery class! It’s a modern replacement to the GlideRecord class for use in ServiceNow backend scripting based upon Functional Programming principles.
GlideQuery is IMO much easier to work with in many common use-cases, though many situations still where GlideRecord remains the superior choice. Nevertheless, I think you’ll enjoy using GlideQuery if you spend any considerable amount of time scripting on the platform!
Nice! Thanks for sharing. There are always so many new things added to the platform but I get in my groove of using what I’ve used for years. This one will be helpful.
Even if you take it slow at first, one thing I can immediately recommend is replacing
GlideAggregate.GlideQueryis designed to be able to replaceGlideAggregate, too, andGlideQuery’s aggregate methods are much less complicated to use by comparison. Total no-brainer for even the grooviest of developers 😉
