What is AskYourDatabase?
AskYourDatabase is a tool for querying databases in everyday language. It comes as two separate products. The Desktop app for Windows and macOS connects from the user's own computer, keeps credentials there, and lets an analyst ask a question, read the generated SQL, check the result and follow up or request a chart. The Website Chatbot is a hosted service that product teams embed in a site or portal, with user-level access control and a dashboard builder driven by natural language. Supported engines include PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery and ClickHouse. Accuracy can be improved by adding schema descriptions, business term definitions and verified question-and-SQL pairs. An Enterprise option covers private or on-premise deployment. The company lists SOC 2 and ISO 27001 on its site.
