FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Before you
get started.

Formats, limits and what happens to your data.

Ask a question

Where are my files processed?

Raw files are read and queried in your browser using DuckDB WebAssembly. Raw file contents are not uploaded to the RawQL server.

Which file formats can I use?

RawQL supports CSV, JSON, Parquet, and Excel (.xlsx, .xls). Legacy .xls files are converted locally before DuckDB reads them.

What does a .rawql workspace snapshot contain?

A snapshot is a portable file you download and manage locally. It can carry workspace files, SQL, notebooks, and database objects together so you can reopen the work later. It is not cloud backup or sync.

What does Query Profile show?

Query Profile exposes the operators, row counts, and execution details for a query run.

Are dashboards and model lineage available?

Charts and pivots are available now. Dashboards are planned, and model lineage is still in development.

What are the import limits?

Import up to three files per session, with a maximum of 100 MB per file. Query performance depends on your device.
