Just wanted to say thank you for all your effort on SQLExplorer, I incorporated it into our open source radiotherapy quality assurance project (https://qatrackplus.com) years ago and it's been a great addition and is used in hospitals around the world :)
I spent 10 mins on your docs, website.
Excellent effort overall.
But I didn't know until I read your comment here about the uploading CSV, instant parsing that non technical people may find very interesting. This is something pgweb for example doesn't have.
Your docs are also missing a complete sample env.
See that you've integrated pivottable. Nice touch!
If you can figure out minimal barcharts , you may even have an opensearch/log community interested.
Another killer idea is uploading CSV/json and getting faceted search. No one does this! But maybe distracting to your roadmap.
Keep up the excellent work!
Good luck!
I've been self-hosting this https://github.com/dbgate/dbgate for a few years.
But I like some of the features in SQL Explorer interesting - like Pivot tables and exposing queries as JSON endpoints.

Not really open source. If you care about that.
Just discovered this and got the test project up and running... but wondering how to enable CSV import?
The "upload csv file" box does not show up in the test project.
Awesome project. But a somewhat irrelevant suggestion. OP could have shared the video via YouTube for better user experience (adaptive bitrate streaming) and also not had to worry about paying for S3.
Thanks for open sourcing, I’ll definitely give this a try!
Any reporting tool is only as good as the data available to it.
I built Multiwoven, a Reverse ETL with SQL capabilities, to sync data from any data warehouse to destinations like this one.
Very useful tool! I contributed a few features as a repayment for the ton of value I have gotten from it
Great job! And congrats on actually getting something out there. I can really see this being useful for some organizations.
I also envisioned this same type of tool around 10 years ago and it is still on my ever growing list of ideas to implement. I took the idea further to support not only SQL but other languages such as HTML, JavaScript, Python, C#, etc. You could then support returning different types of media based on the URL extension such as .html to return a webpage, .json to return a JSON API, .csv to return a CSV file, etc. As time marched on, many of these same ideas came to fruition in things like AWS Lambda, Jupiter Notebooks, Microsoft Monaco Editor, etc.
This is awesome, I hope I get a chance to use it once.
One thought: I think the effort should be put into the UI for the non-technical end users, instead of query builders/developer experience. I would be even fine with a tool doesn't even have a query tool and just executes SQL files from a folder/git repo. The important part would be for me to provide a perfect experience for the end users. Developers usually have a lot of tools at hand to create queries, no need for another one.
nice work, it would be better to add graphic walker for interactive data visualization (also include pivot table): https://github.com/Kanaries/graphic-walker
Been thinking Metabase could benefit greatly from AI integration. This kinda does that!
I like the simplicity, and yet there is a lot of stuff to do.
I know there are bunch of tools that do this (superset, redash, dbeaver web etc.) but there is a great value in the feature and UX choices of any particular tool.
Keep it up m8.
Great effort! Feels like you should be charging for this, maybe a Pro Plan with SSO (user edits integrated into your history logs) and 1 year support for SMEs to self-host.
I'm genuinely impressed by this. It doesn't surprise me that it took 10 years to make.
loved the demo video! we need more enthusiasm like that, really shows how much you love the work you've put in :)
I'm curious about how the project name was chosen considering there are existing tools with the same name.
Do you have a minimal docker image so we can start the service with a single command?
Intersting, can you generate fancy printable reports from this tool?
This is really cool!
Hey look, its Redash! https://github.com/getredash/redash
Nice tool! I built https://sql-workbench.com/ which runs completely in-browser via DuckDB WASM, and enables querying of remote CSV, JSON, Parquet and Arrow data sources, as well as uploaded local files. Charts are supported as well, see the accompanying blog post https://tobilg.com/using-duckdb-wasm-for-in-browser-data-eng...
