Visual Interfaces to Data

Summary: VizQL is a formal declarative language for visual analysis, compiling visuals into SQL/MDX and rendering commands for drag-and-drop analytics. It envisions a view-centric DB for interactive analytics on large data with minimal modeling, enabling data presentation and visual model authoring. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
