Veelgestelde vragen

Quick answers.

›Does this tool execute my query against a database?

No. The tool performs static analysis of the syntax and structure locally in your browser without connecting to any external database.

›Which SQL dialects are supported?

The explainer supports standard ANSI SQL, as well as common variations used in PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and SQLite.

›Will it catch errors in my SQL syntax?

Yes. If the query is malformed, the parser will identify the location of the syntax error so you can correct it before running it in production.

›Is my query data sent to a server?

Zero data is transmitted. The logic for formatting and explaining the SQL clauses runs entirely on your device using client-side scripts.
