SQL Query Editor

SQL Query Editor for Reporting & Data Analysis

Write SQL queries in your browser, run them against your connected database, inspect the results, and turn those results into reports, charts and dashboards. Ubiq gives technical users direct SQL access while keeping reporting and visualization in the same workflow.

  • Write and execute SQL queries from your browser
  • Use joins, nested queries, aggregations and calculations
  • Turn SQL results into charts and reports
  • Add SQL-powered reports to dashboards

Query Data Directly

Use SQL when you need complete control over your reporting logic

Visual report builders are useful for everyday reporting, but some analyses require precise control over joins, filters, grouping, expressions or database-specific logic. The Ubiq SQL query editor gives SQL users a direct route from database query to report.

Write SQL directly

Use SQL for analyses where you want to define the query yourself instead of relying entirely on a visual interface.

Inspect query results

Run a query and work from the returned dataset before turning it into a report or visualization.

Move from query to report

Use the result of your SQL query as the basis for charts, reports and dashboard analysis.

Browser-Based SQL

Write and run SQL queries without leaving your reporting workflow

Query your connected data source from a browser-based SQL interface. This gives analysts, developers and other SQL users a familiar way to retrieve exactly the data they need while keeping the resulting dataset inside Ubiq for reporting and visualization.

Instead of moving between a separate SQL client, exported files and a visualization tool, you can keep query creation and report creation closer together.

SQL to Report

Create reports directly from SQL query results

A SQL query is often only the first step. Once your query returns the dataset you need, use those results to build a report that is easier for other people to understand and use.

This workflow is particularly useful when the data preparation logic is best expressed in SQL, but the final output needs to be consumed as a chart, table, report or dashboard.

For users who do not need to write SQL, Ubiq also provides drag-and-drop reporting.

Advanced Analysis

Use complex SQL for reporting logic that needs more control

Real-world reporting often goes beyond a simple SELECT statement. Use SQL to express more sophisticated data logic when your analysis requires relationships between tables, multiple levels of calculation or custom business rules.

  • Join related tables to assemble reporting datasets
  • Use nested queries for multi-stage analysis
  • Apply aggregations, grouping and conditional logic
  • Create calculated values using SQL expressions and functions
  • Filter and sort data before it reaches the visualization layer

Multiple Data Sources

Run reporting queries against different databases

Organizations often keep operational and analytical data in more than one database. Ubiq lets you connect supported data sources and build reports using the database appropriate for each analysis rather than forcing every reporting workflow through a single source.

This is useful for teams that maintain separate application, departmental or customer databases and want a common reporting interface across them.

Visualization

Turn SQL query results into charts and visual reports

Raw query output is useful for analysis, but business users often need a visual summary. Once your SQL produces the required dataset, turn the results into a visualization that communicates trends, comparisons and changes more clearly.

This separates the work into two useful layers: SQL controls how the dataset is produced, while the visualization controls how the result is presented.

SQL-Powered Dashboards

Add reports built with SQL to business dashboards

Individual SQL reports become more useful when they are combined into a dashboard. Build the underlying datasets with SQL, visualize the results, and bring related reports together so users can monitor important metrics from one place.

A dashboard can therefore combine reports created through different workflows while keeping SQL available wherever precise query control is required.

Flexible Reporting Workflow

Use SQL and visual reporting where each works best

A reporting environment does not need to force every user into the same creation method. SQL users can define datasets directly, while other users can build reports through visual reporting tools. Both approaches can contribute to the same reporting environment.

Interactive Analysis

Go beyond a static SQL result

After a SQL-based report has been created, users may need to explore the information further. Ubiq's broader reporting and analytics capabilities let you build an interactive experience around the dataset instead of treating query output as a one-time export.

Depending on the report, you can complement SQL-powered analysis with filters, drill-down reporting and other interactive features.

From Query to Team Reporting

Share the finished report instead of the SQL behind it

The person who creates a report may be comfortable with SQL, while the people consuming it may simply need a clear chart or dashboard. Build the data logic once, then make the resulting information available through a reporting interface designed for consumption.

This makes SQL a powerful report-building tool without requiring every report viewer to understand the underlying query.

Frequently Asked Questions

SQL Query Editor FAQ

A SQL query editor provides an interface for writing and running SQL queries against a connected database. In Ubiq, query results can also become the data behind reports, charts and dashboards.

Yes. A SQL query can produce the dataset used by a report or visualization, allowing you to control the data logic in SQL and then present the result as a chart, table or dashboard report.

The SQL workflow is intended for cases where you need direct query control, including joins, nested queries, aggregations, expressions and functions supported by the database you are querying.

No. SQL is one reporting workflow. You can also use Ubiq's drag-and-drop reporting capabilities when you want to create reports visually without writing SQL.
