Blazor Report Designer / Query Builder

Create data models with query builder

Blazor Report Designer

Query builder helps you create queries to feed data to a report with a few clicks. It’s an interface between the actual database and the end user. The queries will not affect the actual database; they only fetch data from it.

What you can do with query builder​

SQL query builder

The SQL query builder is a convenient drag-and-drop user interface that helps both technical and nontechnical users create and view relationships between tables with just a few clicks. It provides both graphical and text-based modes to create SQL queries easily.

Graphical query designer

Graphical query designer

The graphical query designer displays a hierarchical view of tables, views, and procedures available in the database for interactively building queries. A simple drag and drop to the query design view will generate the queries for your data set.

Text-based query designer

The text-based query designer lets you write queries in the query syntax that is supported by the data source. A built-in data preview option is available to view the query results.
