pgress VS mingo

Hey Marco, I'll take a look - filters theoretically should be fast, when you create a new filter, it simply reads does a `select * from table limit 1` to get column names

I wasn't sure whether you could query DBs directly from the browser but looks like you can! (https://github.com/alexanderguy/pgress) - will add it to roadmap!

I had fun with a similar concept: just access the database from the browser using nginx/TLS/lua: https://github.com/alexanderguy/pgress

If you're good with your authenticated users directly talking to the DB (which there are plenty of uses for), it's a great way to get your data into the browser.

Maybe mingo works for your use case.

We are doing this under the covers in our app using https://github.com/kofrasa/mingo to let us write data queries on the SPA side.

It lets us build reports and other configurable data queries in a standard way for our case.

I can completely see how this makes sense using SQL although I think the complexity of the implementation might be a fair bit higher than mingo.
