System for exploring data in a database

1. A system for exploring data in a database, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to:

receive a base query;

determine an input parameter from the base query;

provide a first request for a value for the input parameter;

receive the value for the input parameter;

provide a second request for the value for the input parameter;

determine a first query using the base query and the value for the input parameter, comprising to:

determine that the value for the input parameter includes a wild card or an input substring to:

in the event that the value for the input parameter includes the wild card:

 determine a first set of parameters based on the wild card, wherein the wild card is replaced with a first set of text strings; and

 determine a first set of queries based on the base query and the first set of parameters; and

in the event that the value for the input parameter includes the input substring:

 determine a second set of parameters based on the input substring, wherein the input substring is replaced with a second set of text strings; and

 determine a second set of queries based on the base query and the second set of parameters;

provide an indication to execute the first query;

receive a result associated with the indication to execute the first query; and

determine a formatted result for the result.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication to execute the first query is provided to a data system.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to provide the formatted result.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to provide the formatted result to a user system.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the input parameter is one of a plurality of input parameters.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first request for the value for the input parameter is provided to a user.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive another value for the input parameter in response to the second request prior to the receiving of the result associated with the indication to execute the first query.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to provide an indication to stop executing the first query.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to provide an indication to execute another query.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the input parameter has an associated default value.

11. A method for exploring data in a database, comprising:

receiving a base query;

determining, using a processor, an input parameter from the base query;

providing a first request for a value for the input parameter;

receiving the value for the input parameter;

providing a second request for the value for the input parameter;

determining a first query using the base query and the value for the input parameter, comprising:

determining that the value for the input parameter includes a wild card or an input substring to:

in the event that the value for the input parameter includes the wild card:

determining a first set of parameters based on the wild card, wherein the wild card is replaced with a first set of text strings; and

determining a first set of queries based on the base query and the first set of parameters; and

in the event that the value for the input parameter includes the input substring:

determining a second set of parameters based on the input substring, wherein the input substring is replaced with a second set of text strings; and

determining a second set of queries based on the base query and the second set of parameters;

providing an indication to execute the first query;

receiving a result associated with the indication to execute the first query; and

determining a formatted result for the result.

12. A computer program product for exploring data in a database, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving a base query;

determining, using a processor, an input parameter from the base query;

providing a first request for a value for the input parameter;

receiving the value for the input parameter;

providing a second request for the value for the input parameter;

determining a first query using the base query and the value for the input parameter, comprising:

determining that the value for the input parameter includes a wild card or an input substring to:

in the event that the value for the input parameter includes the wild card:

determining a first set of parameters based on the wild card, wherein the wild card is replaced with a first set of text strings; and

determining a first set of queries based on the base query and the first set of parameters; and

in the event that the value for the input parameter includes the input substring:

determining a second set of parameters based on the input substring, wherein the input substring is replaced with a second set of text strings; and

determining a second set of queries based on the base query and the second set of parameters;

providing an indication to execute the first query;

receiving a result associated with the indication to execute the first query; and

determining a formatted result for the result.
