VizQL: A Language for Query, Analysis and Visualization

Summary: VizQL unifies query, analysis and visualization in a single declarative language, enabling unlimited visual expressions and fast view switching. Compiler translates VizQL to SQL/MDX, enabling interactive analysis over relational/datacube sources and eliminating separate reporting steps. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
