Manage Queries

Analyze Queries — Connect to any database and execute SQL queries effortlessly. Automatically format SQL, color syntax, and complete SQL. Perform advanced analysis by viewing query results in text, grid, pivot, and form views with quick filtering and one-click export to Excel.

Access SQL History — Quickly retrieve and reuse any previously executed queries with the automatic recording of all queries. Filter and archive queries to ensure efficient scaling.

Visually Build Queries — Construct sophisticated database queries without ever writing a line of SQL. Select tables and columns from the graphical user interface. Leverage the rich set of visual options including joins, group bys, sort order, and equality comparisons.

Build Charts — Build great-looking 2D and 3D charts by choosing from a comprehensive range of chart types and customize to meet specific needs. Update all charts in real time based on the query result set. Create charts based on pivoted data.

Analyze Data

Visualize Data — Create engaging visualizations and dashboards of data with an easy-to-use drag and drop interface to explore and share with others. Identify patterns and trends to find opportunities for further analysis. Use filters, data labels, and table calculations to create charts.

Edit Data in Excel-like Grid — Edit the result-set of an executed query in a data grid using a convenient graphical interface. Easily alter data, and add and delete rows using an editable, Excel-like grid. Preview the resulting SQL statements prior to executing them.

Apply Statistical Analysis with R — Rapidly create advanced data visualizations for data analytics by applying statistical analysis with R. Create calculated fields to invoke R commands and then plot the resulting data similar to any other field.

Import and Export Data — Import and export data of different formats to and from databases, tables, objects, and files. Use convenient import and export wizards to quickly select options to extract, transform, and load (ETL).
