Why this would be needed

Start inside the user's day · Public facts + workflow reasoning · 2026-08-29

Use case

Developers need cross-table and cross-database queries when troubleshooting, and frequently provide ad-hoc reports to managers.

Using clients like Navicat or DBeaver, but Navicat is banned and DBeaver's experience is subpar.

Cross-database JOIN is impossible, requiring manual copy-paste of fields, time-consuming and error-prone; ad-hoc reports are repetitive.
