What is data democratization?

Data democratization is the practice of making organizational data accessible to all team members who need it, regardless of their technical skills. With Query Streams, anyone can run shared queries from Excel or Google Sheets, adjust interactive filters, or use Nova AI to ask questions in plain English -- all without SQL knowledge or direct database access.

Do team members need SQL skills to access database data?

No. Query Streams separates query creation from query consumption. A technical team member or Nova AI creates the query once, adds interactive filters, and shares it. Recipients run the shared query from their Excel or Google Sheets add-in, adjust filters via dropdowns, and get live results without writing or seeing SQL.

How is data democratization with Query Streams different from Tableau or Power BI?

BI tools require per-user licensing, weeks of training, and pre-built data models. Query Streams delivers data directly into Excel and Google Sheets with no new software to learn, flat pricing per plan instead of per-user, and no data models to build.

What are interactive filters and how do they enable self-service analytics?

Interactive filters transform static queries into configurable data tools. Query creators define parameters using explicit variables or Query Streams auto-detects filterable values from SQL conditions. End users see simple dropdowns in their spreadsheet add-in to adjust values and run the query without editing SQL.

Is data democratization secure with Query Streams?

Yes. The Query Streams Agent runs on your infrastructure with outbound-only connections. Database credentials never leave the Agent. You share specific queries with specific users, revoke access anytime, and every execution is logged for audit compliance.

Can I share database data with external partners or clients?

Yes. Share a query with a client or vendor, and they run it from their own Excel or Google Sheets with independent filter selection. They see only the data the query returns -- no SQL code, no credentials, no direct database access.

Which databases does Query Streams support?

Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Microsoft Access, Oracle, Snowflake, BigQuery, and DuckDB. Also supports API connector data from Stripe, HubSpot, Shopify, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and ShipStation.

What does data democratization cost with Query Streams?

The free tier includes the Agent, database connectors, Excel/Sheets add-ins, query sharing, and interactive filters. Nova AI is available on Business and Enterprise plans with monthly credit allocations. Query execution is always unlimited. Pricing is flat per plan, not per user.

What is Nova AI and how does it help with self-service BI?

Nova AI is Query Streams' built-in AI analytics engine that generates validated, dialect-correct SQL from plain English questions. It reads your actual database schema, supports 9 SQL dialects, produces 6 chart types, and offers conversational follow-up analysis -- enabling any team member to query databases without SQL.

Who should NOT use Query Streams for data democratization?

Query Streams is not ideal for real-time streaming dashboards, pixel-perfect paginated reports like SSRS, complex multi-source data blending visualizations, or organizations with well-adopted enterprise BI deployments. It excels at getting live database data into spreadsheets for non-technical users.
