SQL for non-SQL people

Boost self-sufficiency: Business users can answer questions without analysts. Interactive SQL forms help new users self-serve. Anyone can edit filters with dropdown menus and run custom queries.

Compose is a SQL editor built right into Alation and what sets it apart is now in one view you are able to see not only the metadata that has been ingested for a data object, but you’re also able to query those data objectives. That kind of a marriage, I believe, in my experience, is unique to Alation.
