SQL Explorer is a simple module that provides read-only access to database tables, and read-only SQL statements. It is intended for deployment in production environments, with restricted user access.

The tools is designed to facilite adhoc queries on a production database, where access is otherwise limited.

WARNING
=======

[](#warning)

Before installing this module, it is recommended that you consult with technical governance within your organisation as applicable.

Restrictions
============

[](#restrictions)

The tool imposes some restrictions from a security perspective:

- SQL statements must be SELECT statements.
- Certain table columns are excluded automatically from results, such as password hashes, salt, etc. In a future release this may be configurable.

Configuration
=============

[](#configuration)

No configuration is required. However, you can set the following in config.yml:

- require\_explicit\_permission if truthy, the SQL Explorer admin interface requires users explicitly have SQL\_EXPLORER persmission. Without this extra control, any administrator can access it directly, which in some environment is undesirable. Default is false.

Future state:

- Whitelist/blacklist specific tables or columns on tables.
