What kinds of questions can I ask iDBQuery?
You can ask iDBQuery almost any question your data can answer — totals, trends, comparisons, rankings, anomalies, reconciliations and "why" questions. Ask it to chart results, build a table, make a dashboard, or investigate something on its own. If the answer is in your connected sources, you can ask for it in plain language.
iDBQuery handles the full range of analytical questions, from a quick lookup to an open-ended investigation. Examples:
- Aggregations — "total revenue by region last quarter"
- Trends — "how have monthly signups changed over the past year?"
- Comparisons — "this year versus last, by product line"
- Rankings — "top 10 accounts by overdue balance"
- Anomalies — "why did costs spike in March?"
- Reconciliations — "where do these two systems disagree?"
- Lookups — "what's the status of order 48213?"
You can also direct the *output*: ask for a chart, a formatted table, a live dashboard, or a shareable report. And you can hand off harder questions to the autonomous Analyst agent, which investigates on its own — querying, testing hypotheses, and reporting back with evidence.
Follow-ups work naturally because it keeps context: ask a broad question, then narrow it — "now just the EMEA accounts." The only real limit is your data: if the fact lives in a connected database, spreadsheet, PDF or API, you can ask for it in plain language, and every answer comes back cited.
