A database viewer that fits in your hand.
Open a saved query straight from a link — on a phone in a meeting, on a tablet at the end of the day. Change the filters you are allowed to change, read the answer in a real grid, and bookmark the view so tomorrow it is one tap away. No spreadsheet, no add-in, nothing to install.
Free forever tier · No credit card required
The whole thing, on the screen already in your pocket.
This is a query somebody else wrote and shared, opened from a link. No spreadsheet was involved, nothing was installed, and the SQL behind it never left their account.
- It ran just now. Nothing is cached behind the link — opening it runs the query against the live database.
- The chips are the filters you may move. Region, date range, threshold. The ones the author pinned down never appear.
- It is a real grid. Sorted, with the first column pinned as you scroll sideways, and the rest of the rows arriving as you go.
- Save the page and it comes back like this. Same filters, same sort, same columns — tomorrow’s numbers.
A bookmark that remembers the whole view.
Set the view up once and save the page. Everything you chose lives in the address itself — readable, editable, shareable — so the link brings back the same answer, not just the same query.

3Sort orderWhich column you sorted by, and which way — several if you stacked them.
4Your columnsWhich columns are showing, in what order, and which one stays put as you scroll sideways.
5Search textWhatever you typed into the search box to narrow the rows on screen.
6Row windowHow many rows to pull on open. Raise it and the server still clamps to what the plan allows.
Plain query-string text, not an opaque blob — you can read a link before you open it, and edit it by hand if you want to. Column widths are the one thing left out on purpose: those are per-device, so they stay on the device instead of travelling to somebody else’s phone.
Everything you need to read the answer
Not a dashboard, not a spreadsheet. A fast, governed way to look at a query result on whatever screen you have with you.
Three ways in, one place
Queries shared with you, reports Nova built for you, and your own saved library — three tabs on one page, each showing how many are waiting before you tap it.
A grid that keeps up
The grid draws only the rows on screen and fetches the rest as you scroll, so a long result stays smooth on a phone instead of locking it up while it renders.
Filters you may change
Dates, regions, thresholds — whatever the author opened up is a real control you can move. Whatever they pinned down is fixed, on the server, not just greyed out in the page.
The link is the view
Filters, sort, columns and search all ride in the address. Bookmark it, send it to a colleague, or pin it to a home screen — it reopens exactly as you left it.
Live, every single open
There is no cached copy sitting behind the link. Each time you open it the query runs against the real database, read-only, through your own outbound-only Network Agent.
Nothing to install
It is a signed-in web page, not an add-in. Any modern browser on any device your team already carries — no drivers, no gateway, no VPN, nothing to open in your firewall.
Change what you are allowed to change.
The person who wrote the query decides which parts of it you can move. Open filters become real controls in a sheet you pull up from the bottom of the screen: dates, dropdowns, number ranges, toggles, lists. Everything else is fixed — and fixed on the server, so a hand-edited link cannot widen it.
- Dates, numbers, text, toggles and multi-value lists, each with the right control
- Picklists where the author supplied the options, free entry where they did not
- Locked values never reach the page, so there is nothing to prise open
- Adjust, apply, and the query re-runs — the SQL stays out of sight throughout
A long result, on a phone, without the wait.
A results grid normally slows a phone down by trying to draw every row at once. This one draws the handful you can actually see and brings in the next block as your thumb moves, so scrolling stays smooth however long the answer is. Sort, search, pin a column, reorder the rest — the layout is remembered per device, so your phone and your laptop can each keep the shape that suits them.
- Only the visible rows are rendered; the rest arrive as you scroll
- Phones open on a smaller first window, then fetch more on request
- Touch targets, a pull-up filter sheet and a sideways-scrolling grid with a pinned column
- How many rows come back in total is a plan setting — and for a query someone shared with you, it is theirs, not yours
Whose queries turn up here
Three tabs, three different reasons a query is yours to open. Each one carries a count, so you can see there is something new without opening it.
Somebody sent it to you
Queries other people shared with you — including people at other companies. You get an email with a link straight to the view, and it waits in this tab afterwards. You never see the SQL, the schema or the connection behind it.
Nova wrote it for you
Ask Nova a question in chat and the report it saves for you lands here, ready to open on a phone. Useful when the question arrived before the query existed.
Your own saved queries
Everything your organization has saved in the Query Builder. Save it once at a desk and it is openable from any device you sign in on, without re-authoring anything.
From a link to an answer
Four steps, and only the first one is ever new.
Open the link
From the share email, from the viewer’s own list, or from your own bookmark. You sign in; there is nothing to install.
Set what is open
Pull up the filter sheet and move the controls the author left unlocked. Apply, and the query re-runs.
Read it
Sort, search, pin the column you keep losing, hide the ones you do not need. The layout sticks to the device you are on.
Bookmark the view
Save the page. Filters, sort and columns all come back with it, and the data is fresh every time you return.
A real grid, not a preview
The same controls you would expect at a desk, sized for a thumb.
Behind the link, your own databases
The viewer reads whatever the query reads — 11 databases and 8 API connectors, all through the same secure, outbound-only Network Agent.
Every run goes out through one agent-initiated, outbound-only connection — no inbound ports, no VPN, nothing to open in your firewall, and credentials never leave your network. Execution is read-only (SELECT / WITH / EXPLAIN).
Common questions
Is this a SQL data viewer I have to install?
No. The Data Viewer is a signed-in page in your browser — no desktop client, no database driver, no add-in and no VPN. It works on a phone, a tablet or a laptop, and the connection to your database is made by the Network Agent inside your own network, not by the device you are holding.
Can I see the SQL behind a query someone shared with me?
No — and that is the point. What gets shared is the query object, not the statement. You pick it, set the filters the author left open, and results come back. The SQL, the schema and the database credentials are never sent to you. How sharing works.
How many rows can it show?
As many as the plan allows — the allowance scales with the subscription, and the server clamps every run to it, so the number in a link is a request rather than a guarantee. For a query someone shared with you, the allowance that applies is the owner’s, since it is their data and their plan doing the work.
Separately from that ceiling, the grid opens on a first window rather than pulling everything at once — smaller on a phone than on a desktop — and there is a control to ask for the rest. See plans.
Is the data live, or a saved snapshot?
Live. Nothing is cached behind the link — every time you open it, the query runs against the real database and the rows you see are the rows that are there now. Reopen the bookmark tomorrow and you get tomorrow’s numbers in yesterday’s layout.
Can someone edit the link to see more than they should?
No. The link only carries the choices you were allowed to make. Filters the author pinned down are enforced on the server and are never sent to the browser in the first place, so there is nothing in the page to alter; a request that tries to override one is rejected outright. The row allowance is clamped the same way, and execution is read-only — only SELECT, WITH and EXPLAIN ever run.
Does the person I share with need an account?
Yes — a free Individual account is enough, and there are no per-seat fees. Sharing is authenticated on purpose: it is how the viewer knows which queries are yours to open and how access can be withdrawn later. Sharing queries with a team of your own is a Business and Enterprise capability.
How is this different from the Excel and Google Sheets add-ins?
Same saved queries, different moment. The add-ins are for when the numbers need to land in a spreadsheet to be worked on — formulas, charts, a model. The Data Viewer is for when you just need to look: no spreadsheet app, no install, and it works on the phone in your pocket. Excel & Google Sheets.
What plan do I need?
The viewer itself is available on every plan, including the free-forever tier — what scales with the plan is how many rows a run may return. Sharing queries with a team is a Business and Enterprise capability, and reports built for you by Nova need Nova. See pricing.
Put your numbers one tap away.
Connect a database, save a query, and open it from the phone in your pocket — live, read-only, and nothing to install.
