Folders by domain
Reconciliation, finance, support, on-call. A folder per topic, queries with descriptions, the team finds what they need.
Shared SQL query library
A shared SQL query library the team will actually use.
The diagnostic query that fixed last month outage. The reconciliation query the back-office runs every day. The cleanup probe nobody remembers who wrote. Save them once. Run them through the agent. Audit every execution.
Variables for the bits that change
Typed variables (string, number, date, datetime, json, guid, boolean) with defaults at the query level and overrides per user.
Versioning per query
Every save is a checkpoint. Restore a previous version. Read the diff. Understand who changed what when.
Read-only via agent
Statement classifier rejects DML and DDL. Use a read-only database role. The agent enforces statement timeouts.
Every run is a row
Rendered SQL, variables applied, who, when, on which connection, row count, duration. Compliance and post-mortems happy.
One click to a recurring export
A saved query becomes a schedule that delivers CSV or Excel to email or Slack. The recurring extract automates itself.
Why teams move off the alternatives
The places SQL hides today.
pgAdmin and DBeaver tabs
Personal. Lost on laptop reset. Cannot be shared without copy-paste. No execution audit.
GitHub gists
Shared but disconnected from the database. No variables. No execution. Half the time the gist is private.
Slack threads
Searchable for two weeks then buried. The link to the message dies when the channel rotates. No variables, no audit.
Notebooks and dashboards
Heavyweight for an operational query. Often want cloud DB access. Not the right tool for a quick reconciliation extract.
Query workflow guides
Use the library as the source of truth for operational SQL.
SQL query repository for small teams
Folders, variables, audit, and private execution without a heavy catalog process.

Shared SQL query library: save, share and audit team SQL
Can the team see and edit queries together? +
Yes. Save a query under the company scope and the team sees it. Personal scope keeps it private. Versioning means edits are not destructive.
Are variables required? +
Optional. Plain SQL works. When a query needs a customer id or a date range, mark it as a variable and the runner prompts for it. Defaults at the query level, overrides per user.
Can I run write queries? +
No. DML and DDL are rejected before dispatch. Use a read-only database role for the connection. To write to the database, use a migration tool and let Taavik observe the result.
Move it in
Save the first query the team keeps re-writing.
