New to AQL

[Stefan Schöning]

Hi,

I am new to Arango DB and starting to explore the AQL. I have done all tutorials and courses provided by Arango but have some questions left to understand how to perform the queries the right way...

So i have a simple Example from the Graph Database Book 

I have multiple Variants to get the results but it doesn't feels right.

First solution is to get all colleagues either with 1..1 query from the company or from the user with 2...2 than the same for the Topic both searches are wrapped in subqueries and than i do an intersection 

Second Solution ist to travers the path to the colleagues and than get their topics and filter thes by the interest from sarah....

Are there other options with AQL to write the pattern match? It looks so easy in Cypher for this simple query and a little complicated in AQL maybe i miss something ?

Would be nice to see some experienced AQL User show me how to do this simple query right because this is the foundation for more complex queries. 

Thanx all and have a nice day.

S.
