  • Raw SQL for Neon Reporting and Analysis: Switch to raw query mode to write SQL directly. This is ideal for advanced queries, performance tuning, or when you want full control over your Postgres queries. Draxlr Raw SQL Mode

You can freely move between visual queries and SQL, making it easy to start visually and refine queries as needed.

Draxlr also includes an AI-powered chat interface that lets you ask questions about your Lakebase Postgres data in natural language.

For example, you can ask:

  • "What were the top 5 customers by revenue last month?"
  • "Show me daily signups for the past 30 days."
  • "Compare average order value by region." Draxlr AI Chat

Draxlr translates these questions into database queries, runs them on your database, and returns results as tables or visualizations - no SQL required.

With Draxlr and Neon, you can go beyond one-off queries and build reliable Neon analytics workflows.

You can:

  1. Monitor key metrics from your database in real time and receive automated alerts via email or Slack when values changes.
