A Built-in SQL Lab for Direct Data Access
There may be times when your data researchers want to grab unique data right on the spot. Our platform provides just the solution, in the form of a SQL Lab where your approved users can directly query the databases for the data you’re looking for. In the below video we provide a simple example of how the SQL Lab works. First you choose the SQL Lab dropdown menu and select the SQL Editor. Second you select the database and tables you want to query against. Third you enter your unique SQL query and click the run button to see your resulting data. In this example we queried the databases for the total number of active users. Fourth, you can then create a chart from the chart library or download your data in CSV format. Fifth, you can save this query by giving it a unique name and even adding comments, then feel free to rerun the saved query at any time in the future without having to redo the previous steps. You can also edit the saved query or delete it at your convenience.
