SQLPage

Self-Hosted

Build web apps using only SQL queries—no frontend code required

Overview

SQLPage lets developers and data analysts create interactive web apps directly from SQL databases without writing HTML/CSS/JS. It supports PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, and MariaDB, with built-in UI components (tables, charts, forms, buttons). Deployment is simple: use a standalone binary (no dependencies) or Docker container. Ideal for internal tools, dashboards, or quick prototypes, it focuses on data logic over frontend complexity. Open-source under MIT License, it’s perfect for self-hosted, SQL-first solutions.
