Re: Show HN: Open Core Admin for Business Executives to Query RDBMS (No-Code/No-SQL)
#2I am Sumit and I have been working on dwata for the last few months now. The software is intended to be open core although I have not figured out the best licensing route. This is early early stage but I want to get some feedback.
The aim is to create a software that really works without any engineering setup. It (backend, Python) reads DB schema, and generates SQL (including JOINs and Sub-queries) depending on what tables/columns are selected in the UI (React app).
I am talking to some founders who have teams and need to query data (business analysis). Non-technical people get frustrated with SQL and existing tools usually want engineers to setup Dashboards, and they go the SQL way. I want to build dwata in a way where there is no SQL in the UX at all. Of course this is not easy but for vast majority of business users this would positively affect their lives.
Simple query like "Show me orders from last year where product value was above $50" needs a 3 table JOIN. If we could get to these without knowing SQL that would be of value. Please share your thoughts, and thank you for your time.
Kinds regards, Sumit
