Quick Start

Quory helps you answer a specific question about a customer, order, or account, even when the answer is spread across several database tables. Start with a record, follow its relationships, and bring the relevant information together without writing every join yourself.

Quory comes in several flavours. Use the desktop app to investigate your data, or use the same query engine to build your own tools.

Pick a starting point

I want to explore my database Use the desktop client. Connect a database, build a query, and save it for the next investigation.

I want to build a data tool Use @quory/core. Discover relationships and run queries from your own server-side TypeScript code.

I want to build a custom dashboard using Quory Use @quory/stack. Connect a server handler to React hooks and build an interface inside your existing app.

What each flavour gives you

	Desktop client	Core library	Stack integrations
Best for	Support investigations	Custom tools and backend code	An existing React web app
What you get	An Electron app with a query workspace	Schema discovery and a relationship query engine	A server request handler, provider, and React hooks
What you build	Nothing to get started	Your interface and application logic	Your interface, HTTP route, and access controls
Where it runs	Your computer	A Node.js process	Node.js backend and React frontend
Start with	Download Quory	@quory/core + a driver	@quory/stack/server + @quory/stack/react

All three use the same underlying relationship engine. Core is useful without React; stack adds the request and state-management layer for a web app. Stack currently exports hooks rather than a complete embeddable copy of the desktop UI.

Supported databases

Quory includes drivers for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. The desktop client includes them; library users choose the driver that matches their database. See database connections for configuration examples.

Automatic joins use declared foreign keys. A column called customer_id does not establish a relationship by itself. Read how Quory works before planning an integration.

What about Quory Cloud?

Quory Cloud is planned and is not currently an available deployment option. Use the desktop client today, or host a stack integration in your own application. The current open-source stack does not provide Cloud’s proposed row- and column-level access controls.
