Charts

Turn query results into bar, line, area, pie, or scatter charts without leaving Dora.

Charts

Any result set in the SQL Console can be visualized as a chart. Run a query, then open the chart view from the results toolbar.

Build a chart

Dora suggests a sensible chart configuration from your result columns, which you can adjust:

  • Chart type — bar, line, area, pie, or scatter.
  • X axis — pick a category, date, or numeric column.
  • Y axis — one or more numeric columns (add several series).
  • Aggregation — sum, average, or count.
  • Group by — an optional column for multi-series grouping.

The chart updates live as you change the configuration.

Some chart types have requirements: a pie chart uses a single Y column, and a scatter plot needs numeric X and Y columns. Line and area charts read best with a time or numeric X axis.

Write a query that returns exactly the shape you want to chart — for example a GROUP BY with a count — and the result maps directly onto the axes. You can export the rendered chart as a PNG image.
