Frequently asked questions

What versions of SQL Server does Better Analyst support?
Better Analyst supports SQL Server 2016 and later, including SQL Server 2019, 2022, and Azure SQL Database. Both on-premises and cloud-hosted instances are fully compatible.
What credentials and authentication methods are supported?
Better Analyst supports SQL Server Authentication (username and password) and can connect to instances that use Windows Authentication through properly configured connection strings. You need your server address, database name, and login credentials.
How do I connect my SQL Server to Better Analyst?
Click "Connect SQL Server," enter your connection details (server address, database name, username, password), and click connect. Better Analyst will verify the connection and you can start querying immediately.
What data can I query with Better Analyst?
You can query any table, view, or stored procedure result that the connected user has access to. Better Analyst translates your natural language questions into T-SQL and returns the results in easy-to-read formats.
Is my database data secure?
Yes. Credentials are encrypted at rest and never exposed. Read only is the default. If you explicitly enable Read and write, Better Analyst can manage destination tables only in the approved schema, subject to the SQL Server login’s permissions. TLS encryption is supported for connections.
Does Better Analyst affect my SQL Server performance?
Better Analyst runs lightweight, read-only queries. For production servers with heavy workloads, we recommend connecting to a read replica or Always On secondary replica to ensure zero impact on your primary instance.
