Can I point iDBQuery at a whole folder of files?
Yes. Point iDBQuery at a whole folder and it ingests every file inside — spreadsheets, CSVs and PDFs — running OCR on scanned documents, then builds one queryable model across the set. You ask questions in plain language over the entire folder and get answers cited to the specific file and row.
iDBQuery supports folder ingest, so you don't have to add files one at a time. You point it at a directory and it processes the contents into a single queryable model.
- Mixed file types — spreadsheets, CSVs and PDFs in the same folder are all ingested together.
- OCR for documents — scanned or image-based PDFs are read with OCR so their text and tables become queryable.
- Asynchronous processing — larger folders are ingested in the background, with status tracked per file so you can see progress.
- One model over many files — ask a question once and iDBQuery answers across the whole folder, citing the specific file and row behind each figure.
This is ideal when you have a collection of related files — monthly exports, a batch of statements, a set of reports — and want to analyze them as a whole instead of opening each one. Because the folder becomes part of your live model, it can also be blended with your connected databases and APIs. You ask plain-language questions, get cited answers, and can build charts, dashboards and shareable reports from the result.
