24 alternatives to SQLify – Query all your apps and APIs using SQL

Hello HN, We are happy to announce SQLify, a new product from the team behind Kantree (https://kantree.io). Some time ago, we had the request to access data from Kantree through BI tools. We realized one of the easiest way to achieve this was to provide an SQL interface, compatible with PostgreSQL, so that data analyst could query Kantree data like they're used to. No need to learn the details of our API. We realized this process could be useful for many other uses cases. SQLify was born ! It is a superset of SQL that allows you to query APIs. We provide integrations with popular…

    I have been working on SQL Explorer, an open source, Django-based reporting and query tool for (gulp!) almost ten years. It's a tool that fits just right for me and many others, and I love and use almost every day. Write SQL, share results, do some analysis, get insight. No surprises. A live demo instance is here (no login or anything required): https://demo.sqlexplorer.io/ And here's a fairly unprofessional, but very enthusiastic, video tour: https://sql-explorer.s3.amazonaws.com/Sql+Explorer+5.mp4 The UI is constrained enough that there's very little to learn,…

    Hi HN! I’m Justin, founder and CEO of Arctype, and we’re very excited to share Arctype with the community. Arctype is a cross-platform GUI (soon to be open-sourced) to manage and query your databases, with built-in collaboration and visualization. It currently supports Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite, as well as newer-generation databases like ClickHouse, PlanetScale, and Yugabyte (and more coming very soon!). Think of Arctype as “phpMyAdmin meets Postman”. Most of our team grew up learning how to program using the LAMP stack and we missed the experience of interacting with our databases using…

    Hello everyone! I'm exited to share a NodeJS package I was working on for the past two months. The package is designed to simplify querying SQL databases through an array-like API. Qustar supports PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, and MariaDB, and offers TypeScript support for a robust development experience. It's in early stage of development. I would like to hear your thoughts about it.

    SnapQL is an open-source desktop app (built with Electron) that lets you query your Postgres database using natural language. It’s schema-aware, so you don’t need to copy-paste your schema or write complex SQL by hand. Everything runs locally — your OpenAI API key, your data, and your queries — so it's secure and private. Just connect your DB, describe what you want, and SnapQL writes and runs the SQL for you.

    Hey Hacker News! I wanted to share the open source project I have been working on during the last year: SQLPage, a tool to build small web applications entirely in SQL. Building web applications with just SQL isn't as crazy as it seems. Most simple applications can be expressed declaratively as just data queries that fill pre-defined web components. I'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts on it. Would you potentially use it? How can it be improved? Website: https://sql.ophir.dev/ Github: https://github.com/lovasoa/SQLpage Example app:…
