RunQL

What does "everything as code" mean?

Saved queries, schema documentation, ERD diagrams, and charts are all stored as readable code files in your project. That means they're version-controlled, reviewable in pull requests, and available to your entire team. No more digging through a standalone tool's proprietary storage to find that query someone wrote last quarter.

How does auto-documentation work?

RunQL reads your live schema and generates documentation for tables, columns, and relationships with a single click. If you have an AI provider configured, it can also generate human-readable descriptions based on column names, types, and context. Everything is automatically indexed so you can search across all your documentation, queries, and metadata instantly.

Can I create charts and ERDs?

Yes. Run a query and visualize the results as a chart directly in VS Code — bar, line, pie, and more with customizable colors. ERDs are generated automatically from your schema and can be customized to focus on the tables you care about. Both charts and ERDs are stored as code files in your workspace, so they're versioned, diffable, and always up to date.

Is RunQL free to use?

Yes. RunQL is open source under the MIT license. Install it directly from the VS Code Marketplace at no cost.

How does Snowflake support work?

Snowflake is supported through a separate VS Code extension (runql-snowflake) that registers itself with RunQL's adapter API.
