Can I connect Neon serverless Postgres to iDBQuery?

Yes. Neon is serverless PostgreSQL, so iDBQuery connects to it directly through its PostgreSQL connector. Use your Neon connection string with a read-only role, and you can ask questions in plain language and get answers cited back to the exact rows.

Neon is a serverless PostgreSQL platform, and iDBQuery connects to it with its native PostgreSQL connector using the Neon connection string (Neon requires TLS, which iDBQuery uses by default). It introspects your schema and its semantic layer maps technical names to business terms.

Once connected:

  • Ask in plain English — 'new users by week and how many converted' — and iDBQuery writes and runs the SQL.
  • Cited answers — every figure links back to the exact Neon rows.
  • One live model — join Neon with a spreadsheet, a warehouse, or a REST API in one answer, no pipeline needed.

Best practice is a dedicated read-only role so iDBQuery can query but never write, and connecting through Neon's pooled endpoint for efficient connections. Because Neon can branch your database, you can even point iDBQuery at a branch for isolated analysis.

Example: an early-stage team runs on Neon to keep infrastructure lean. Instead of standing up a BI stack, they ask iDBQuery 'which onboarding step loses the most users?' and get a cited funnel in seconds. And because iDBQuery can run on the Desktop app or in your own cloud, you keep full control of where your data is queried.
