Supported Databases (Data Sources)

SQL-supported databases

Holistics currently support the following SQL databases/ data sources:

  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
  • Microsoft SQL Server
    • Azure DB via Microsoft SQL Server
  • Google BigQuery
  • Amazon Redshift
  • Snowflake
  • Presto
  • Clickhouse
  • Amazon Athena

Since each database has their own unique features, not all functionalities in Holistics are supported across all databases. Below is the matrix table of what we support for each database.

Support for spreadsheets sources

Besides the SQL connectors, Holistics also support a few non-SQL data sources: CSV/Excel files, Google Spreadsheets.

To work with these sources, please use our Import Model to load them into your SQL database.

Support for other data sources

For NoSQL data sources (MongoDB, CouchDB, etc) and application data sources (Salesforce, Hubspot, Facebook Ads), we recommend you use a dedicated ETL/EL tool, load the data into your data warehouse, and use Holistics to visualize them.
