I have been looking for this for the past few days, something to graph directly from my mysql. Unfortunately the experience in this app is not too good - The app is just white and it takes a long time to startup, why isn't is just a website? - Would be nice to just do it on data. - Clicking CMD+R to run my query for some reason reloads my "native app", this just sucks in all web apps. At the time of writing this post I have done it 6 times in a row. - My query for 500k rows took 90 seconds, compare this with sequel pro that takes (well it states 373ms) but its spinner were there for like 10s, it shows results instantly though. - Pressing enter on a 'setup connection' made it save, but not connect. Better to just test the connection at that stage. - Trying to make a chart and there is no feedback, not sure if it is working and loading, or if I chose wrong values or something like that. But at this stage I'm more likely to close the app than to fix it. - I like to see my table structure while writing the queries - Auto complete? Actually I thought I'd try with LIMIT 100; to see if it were snappier, so I wrote it and pressed CMD+R... Sorry for the negativity, I reallly want a tool like this, so if this can make it better. This being said, once I got one chart up and running it is kinda nice and makes me want to continue playing with it a bit.

Try Metabase[0]! It's one of the most professionally maintained OSS projects I've ever seen. For instance, I don't recall seeing design mockups for new features before implementation elsewhere. And it absolutely shows in the app's design. [0]: http://www.metabase.com/ http://www.metabase.com/

  ^second that. Redash [0] is also a pretty nifty tool - and could be used together. [0]: https://redash.io/ https://redash.io/

  Been looking for a tool like that as I have used redash in the past but was not convinced with the whole experience. Besides the setup we had was horrible. Thanks!

  Thanks, will check it out. EDIT: Really impressed with this. It is pretty much exactly what I have been looking for, and it has a fast UI as well.

  Thank you for this. This looks really good. Has anyone had experience visualising millions of records in metabase with different users having access to different sections? Basically, I am asking, can this replace SAP Crystal reports?

    I've never tried anything SAP, but we do have 10^7 order of magnitude tables in Metabase, and we do use permission groups.

Superset from airbnb might be worth a look: https://github.com/airbnb/superset https://github.com/airbnb/superset
