Any plans to add support for ClickHouse? If so, what does that timeline look like?

Probably in a few months. For now we're focusing to make the experience great for a restricted number of warehouses. But you can reach out by email and we'll keep you updated

Congrats on the HN launch! Really excited to give this a try I think this could be a huge unlock for my team. One quick issue - unable to connect to my postgres instance that requires SSL. SSH tunneling seems to be broken as well because when the box is checked I am unable to select a private key path and the connect button is gone Parsing DB URI would be a helpful feature as well! Thanks so much, excited to get this…

ignore the SSH tunneling, didn't see that i had to scroll...it's been a long week. regardless, SSL enabled connections would be huge

Thanks for your feedback, we'll add SSL in the connection soon

Like the looks of this. Any chance you'll be adding support for SQLite at some point?

Oh yes! Should be done fairly easily, we have DuckDB coming in the next release, we can also add SQLite. You use SQLite to develop locally I guess?

Yes just local, but love to use Nao to quickly analyze datasets

Do you support Exasol? In the current climate we don’t want to be too dependent on US cloud services, so we are moving our performance sensitive dwh workloads off Snowflake to Exasol.

Not yet, but we are willing to develop these specific connectors on ask. You can reach out! Just one question what makes you pick Exasol rather than going with an open-source warehouse tech (e.g. Clickhouse or a lake with Trino)?

We tested those, but none of them could reach the performance we needed, especially under high concurrent load (we have a large number of concurrent workloads). Exasol is just crazy fast.

Will also give nao a shot as soon as this is shipped. A LOT of non corp data work happens in SQLite and duckdb.

This looks like many LLM assisted data projects which help and are flexible, but aren't repeatable and aren't fast enough to be interactive. Nao is a good execution of the concept. I built Buckaroo as a data table UI for Jupyter and Pandas/Polars, that first lets you look at the data in a modern performant table with histograms, formatting, and summary stats. Yesterday I released autocleaning for Buckaroo. This looks…

Whelps! Ive been building something really similar. Mines nowhere as complete as Buckaroo I really think embedded apps in notebooks can be very useful.

Yes I second this. I use sqlite for local use and also for prototyping data designs, so sqlite support is very useful indeed - not a deal breaker but definitely a tick item.

I can't really tell what those databases are that are coming soon, a "hover" over the icons would be nice. SQLServer coming anytime soon, my coworkers are working on some data integrity work right now and it might be a nice tool for them.
