Text-to-SQL & natural-language querying · Outerbase

Outerbase

Database client and dashboard builder with an AI natural-language query feature ('EZQL') layered on top of direct SQL editing.

Visit Outerbase Alternatives

Outerbase is primarily a modern database client and dashboard-building tool for Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift, and it adds an AI natural-language querying feature called EZQL that translates plain-English questions into SQL against a connected database. Because it is built around direct database browsing and query editing first, it suits users comfortable working close to the schema who want AI assistance for specific questions rather than a fully abstracted chat interface. EZQL usage is metered per plan, alongside limits on saved queries and dashboards; higher tiers unlock additional database engines and unlimited EZQL use. It is cloud-hosted, with an Enterprise tier adding private cloud deployment, custom AI models, and compliance certifications.
