Write

Write faster

Start writing SQL or Cypher and instantly get full query suggestions, plus get auto-generated documentation with a click.

  • Auto Suggestions

    Full query suggestions, on the fly, from saved queries.

  • Autocomplete

    Syntax and schema intellisense autocomplete.

  • AI Assistance

    Auto documentation and query generation.

With 200 people writing queries, they are too hard to find in our Git repository. There's lots of duplication of work, and descriptions are often not there.

Manage

Eliminate rework

There's a lot to keep track of. runQL makes sure every change is instantly captured, documented and available to your team.

  • Modern Version
    Control

    Automatic version control with a click. Instantly available for everyone.

  • Certification & Change Tracking

    Manage certified queries as the source of truth in your organization.

  • Auto Change
    Management

    Auto detection of schema changes with suggested query updates.

Maintaining, documenting, versioning, searching and sharing queries… is a pain. I estimate that it consumes two hours of my work every day.

Use

Use everywhere

Write once, use everywhere - One source of truth. Everything you and your team store in runQL is securely accessible in an instant.

  • Smart Team
    Reuse

    Amazing search and suggestions to leverage trusted saved queries.

  • Chrome
    Extension

    Easily find and use your saved queries when using external web platforms.

  • runSource
    Proxy

    Access your data in external platforms via your runQL saved queries.

A recent data change meant we had to bring our SR Data Analyst in on the weekend to update the query in all the downstream BI dashboards and other tools. If we had runQL we could have just updated the query in one place.
