I would honestly much rather have a powerful IDE where I write my own sql and my query output is visualized than any of this UI stuff.

- byproxy 7y agoI think LINQPad does something similar? https://www.linqpad.net/ https://www.linqpad.net/
- thingsilearned 7y agoYeah we're somewhat targeting a different audience here but I also think this will end up being a much better experience even for the power users than an IDE. I believe most data exploration just shouldn't be SQL/text based. It's just faster to do it visually if there aren't extra steps added and the interface is good/flexible enough. Even as developers we spend most of our time in a GUI environment vs the command line. It's not just that it's easier/better for business users - it's also just better for everyone.
- nojvek 7y agoReally like what you’ve done Dave. I’m working on a very similar idea but a different niche (turning databases into a cms + simple charts) at https://boomadmin.com https://boomadmin.com Totally the future is hybrid. Quickly press some buttons to get to a starting SQL and then go complex from there on if needed. My principle is that “simple things should be simple, complex things are possible”
