SQLPage is an SQL-only webapp builder. It is meant for data scientists, analysts, and business intelligence teams to build powerful data-centric applications quickly, without worrying about any of the traditional web programming languages and concepts.
With SQLPage, you write simple .sql files containing queries to your database
to select, group, update, insert, and delete your data, and you get good-looking clean webpages
displaying your data as text, lists, grids, plots, and forms.
Supported databases
- sqlite
- PostgreSQL, and other compatible databases such as CockroachDB and Aurora.
- MySQL, and other compatible databases such as MariaDB and TiDB.
How it works
SQLPage is a web server written in
rust.
When it receives a request to a URL ending in .sql, it finds the corresponding
SQL file, runs it on the database,
passing it information from the web request as SQL statement parameters.
When the database starts returning rows for the query,
SQLPage maps each piece of information in the row to a parameter
in one of its pre-defined components' templates, and streams the result back
to the user's browser.
