Very cool! I wrote Django SQL Explorer[0], and this looks very similar in spirit, but an emphasis on visualization that Explorer does not have (to the extent it has a focus, it's more on providing a reasonable way to write complex queries and re-use them). These types of tools are extremely handy. [0] https://github.com/groveco/django-sql-explorer https://github.com/groveco/django-sql-explorer

I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't run across django-sql-explorer when I started working on this - that could have saved me a bunch of time, it looks really good! That said, part of my rationale for building this was as a learning and research exercise since I need to learn more about read-only PostgreSQL for my Datasette project. Definitely looking forward to cross-pollinating ideas. I agree, having access to this kind of interface is a massive productivity boost.

I'm a happy Django sql explorer user (and small contributor) and I would like to say thank you for this project and totally recommend it to everybody! Django sql explorer makes it really easy to add arbitrary sql querying to your project with various other goodies!

I have used Django SQL Explorer and it's fantastic, thank you for your work! It worked very well and is a great way to allow people to perform read-only queries, save them, run them later, etc. It was great for allowing non-technical people to quickly read data from the database.

I use Django SQL Explorer pretty much every day. It's been wonderful for my needs. I'm also very happy to see django sql dashboard as an alternative and in particular the dashboard features like vega chart and markdown integration. I will definitely check this out. Thanks to both of you!
