Is iDBQuery open source?
iDBQuery is a commercial product from Intrazero, not an open-source project. However, it gives you the control people usually want from open source: deploy it in the cloud, your own VPC or fully air-gapped, run the Desktop app or embed it via the SDK, so your data stays with you.
iDBQuery is a commercial product, not open-source software. But the reasons people often prefer open source — control, deployability, no black box, data staying in-house — are addressed directly by how iDBQuery is built.
- Deploy where you want. Cloud, your own VPC, on your own hardware, or fully air-gapped with no external connectivity.
- Local options. A Desktop app keeps data on your machine, and the Embedded SDK lets developers build iDBQuery into their own applications.
- Not a black box on your data. Every answer shows the SQL it ran and cites the source rows, so results are transparent even though the software is proprietary.
- Model-agnostic. iDBQuery is not locked to a single AI provider, which preserves flexibility.
So if your requirement behind 'is it open source?' is really 'can I run it in my environment and keep control of my data?', the answer is yes. You are not forced onto a single hosted service, and sensitive deployments can run entirely within your walls. What you get in exchange for it being commercial is a supported, ready-to-use product — the federation, semantic layer, Analyst agent, citations and connectors are built and maintained for you, rather than something you assemble and operate yourself. For specific licensing or deployment questions, the team can walk through the options.
