SQL Notebooks allow developers to write Markdown combined with SQL to produce live HTML5 reports. They offer a lightning-fast, modern HTML5 interface where data sources are queried in real time. Users can create beautiful, live-updating SQL notebooks, easily source control the code, and take static snapshots to share with colleagues who don't have database access. SQL Notebooks are available in both QStudio Version 4, a desktop SQL client based on editing markdown files locally, and Pulse Version 3, which serves as a shared team server accessible via a web address. To help users get started, a showcase of example notebooks has been created in collaboration with leading community members; these examples are snapshotted versions with static data, and the source markdown and most of the data to recreate them are available on GitHub.
