Database Collaboration Tool for Teams
Give your whole team database access without passing credentials around. SaturnSQL is a database collaboration tool: an admin connects each database once, consolidating access to multiple databases behind role-based permissions, and everyone else gets a browser-based workspace where they can run queries, reuse the team's saved SQL, and share results. Governed self-service access with nothing to install: no local clients, no connection strings in Slack.
The usual way teams “collaborate” on a database is credential sprawl. The connection string lives in a password manager (or worse, a pinned Slack message), everyone installs their own desktop client, and each person configures SSH tunnels and SSL settings by hand. When someone new joins, database access is a half-day of setup. When someone leaves, nobody is quite sure which credentials to rotate.
SaturnSQL replaces that with one shared connection and per-person accounts. You connect PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, Amazon Redshift, ClickHouse, BigQuery, or DynamoDB once, ideally with a read-only database user, and then invite your team. Everyone queries through the same vetted connection with their own login, so access is granted and revoked per person, not per credential.
Who can do what
| Role | What they get |
|---|---|
| Admin | Manages connections, members, roles and billing. The only role that ever touches a connection setting. |
| Member | Writes and runs SQL, saves and shares queries, schedules exports. Never sees credentials. |
| Viewer | Reports and nothing else: opens shared results with filters and export, cannot write SQL or open the editor. |
The viewer role is what makes the tool safe to open up beyond the data team: a founder, a customer success manager or a contractor can consume numbers without anyone worrying about what they might run.
The part your DBA will ask about
Shared access is only worth having if it does not widen the attack surface. Connection credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to members. The recommended setup is a read-only database user, so the shared connection physically cannot write. Connections support SSL with CA certificate pinning, SSH bastions for databases in private subnets, and a static egress IP you can allowlist in the firewall instead of opening the port to the world. Accounts can be protected with two-factor authentication, and every query is attributable to the person who ran it. The full picture is on the security and access control page.
What team database collaboration looks like
Shared connections, individual accountability. Team members run queries without ever touching connection settings. Admins manage the connection in one place, and each query is tied to the person who ran it.
A common query library. Every useful query can be saved, tagged, and organized in folders. Instead of five slightly different versions of “monthly active users” living on five laptops, the team has one canonical version everyone can find and run. Our collaborative SQL editor page covers this workflow in depth.
Results people can actually use. Share a link that shows both the query and its output, schedule results into Google Sheets, or push them to Slack. Stakeholders get answers without needing database access at all.
Works for distributed teams. Because everything runs in the browser, remote teammates get the same access as everyone else. There is no VPN-and-desktop-client setup per person, and no “works on my machine” connection debugging across time zones.
Common questions
Do team members need their own database credentials? No. An admin connects the database once, and everyone runs queries through that shared connection. Team members never see or manage connection strings, passwords, or tunnels.
Is this a BI tool? No. A BI tool is built around dashboards. SaturnSQL is built around the SQL itself: writing, sharing, organizing, and scheduling queries as a team. Think of it as the layer before your BI tool.
What databases are supported? PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Amazon Redshift, ClickHouse, Google BigQuery, and Amazon DynamoDB.
How do I give a contractor safe access? Give them the viewer role and they get shared reports, nothing else. If they need to write SQL, a member account through a read-only connection means they still cannot change data.
What happens when someone leaves? Remove their account and their access is gone. The database credential was never on their machine, so there is nothing to rotate across laptops and the connection keeps working for everyone else.
