Would you use a tool that explains SQL queries in plain English?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a small tool called DataDox, and I wanted to get some honest feedback from people who actually work with SQL.
The idea is simple:
You upload or paste a SQL query, and it generates clear, structured documentation explaining what the query is doing — joins, transformations, logic, and even basic lineage.
The problem I’m trying to solve:
A lot of time goes into understanding and explaining SQL, especially when:
* queries are complex
* someone else wrote them
* or you need to explain logic to non-technical stakeholders
Instead of manually breaking things down, this tool tries to do it instantly.
Before I go deeper into building this, I want to validate:
* Is this actually a real problem for you?
* Would you use something like this in your workflow?
* Where do you think this would break or not be useful?
* Would this be valuable enough to pay for?
Not trying to sell anything here — just genuinely looking for feedback.
If you’ve faced this problem or have thoughts, I’d really appreciate your input.
