Data source

In Qluent, the data source is the central database that is queried when you ask a question. You can either BYOD (bring your own database) OR use the Qluent managed database that's automatically created with new projects - if you want to make a connection to Centra, GA4 or Shopify.

Supported databases​

The following databases can be configured directly in the app at https://app.qluent.com/project/{your-project-id}/settings/data-source.

  • Google BigQuery
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Snowflake

If you have a firewall in place you'll need to allow these Qluent IP addresses to access your database: 35.158.209.196, 35.158.241.255, 35.159.142.149.

 If your database is not on the list, contact info@qluent.com and we'll connect it manually behind the scenes

Managing data access​

Enabling all data in a warehouse is often not feasible or wanted. Qluent recommeneds the following strategy to work with subsets of users and data.

  • Create separate Qluent projects for each dataset
  • Create separate database schema/dataset for the Qluent project
  • Create/copy table/views within the schema/dataset
  • Specifcy this schema/dataset in the data source connection
  • Share the Qluent project with the permitted users
