Product: SQL Cor

One-sentence description

SQL Cor is a secure SQL terminal built into Creatio Cloud, giving administrators direct database access with role-based permissions, a configurable blacklist, and a complete audit trail.

The problem it solves

Creatio Cloud administrators have no direct database access. Every time an admin needs to verify data, debug a workflow, or run a quick query, they must either:

  • File a support ticket with their Creatio partner and wait days
  • Navigate dozens of Creatio screens manually
  • Export to Excel and analyze offline

SQL Cor eliminates this bottleneck — a controlled SQL terminal directly inside Creatio.

Distribution

  • Free, open source (MIT)
  • GitHub download only (no Marketplace listing)
  • Standard Creatio package install — drag and drop .zip, ~5-10 minutes

Complete feature list (use for accurate content)

SQL Terminal page

Header:

  • ⚙️ Administration button — visible to SysAdmin only, switches to admin panel
  • 🌙/☀️ Theme toggle — Dark / Light, saved in browser localStorage
  • 🇺🇦/🇬🇧 Language button — Ukrainian / English, instant switch
  • ℹ️ About button — modal with version, features list, contact info

Toolbar:

  • ▶️ Execute (F5 / Ctrl+Enter) — runs SQL against the database
  • 🧹 Clear — empties editor
  • ⚖️ Dry Run toggle — when ON: executes query inside a transaction that always ROLLBACK. Shows accurate row counts and errors without committing any changes. Triggers may still fire (expected behavior).
  • 🗄️ DB Indicator — shows connected database name (e.g. Production_DB_Main), display only

Editor:

  • Syntax highlighting (keywords cyan, strings orange, comments gray, numbers green)
  • Line numbers, Tab indentation
  • Autosave to localStorage — query restored on refresh
  • F5 / Ctrl+Enter to execute
  • Ctrl+Z/Y undo/redo, Ctrl+/ comment line

Smart Hints (yellow bar, auto-appears after certain errors):

  • Case-sensitive table names: suggests adding double quotes + “INSERT INTO EDITOR” button
  • TOP vs LIMIT: detects MSSQL syntax, rewrites to PostgreSQL + “INSERT INTO EDITOR”
  • Permission error: suggests checking Access Control
  • Ambiguous column: suggests adding table alias + “INSERT INTO EDITOR”

Results panel:

  • Data table: NULL=italic, TRUE=green, FALSE=red, numbers right-aligned
  • “X rows returned in Y ms” / “X rows changed in Y ms”
  • Row limit notice when results truncated
  • 📥 Export to CSV — available after successful SELECT

Footer:

  • 🟢/🔴/🟡 Connection status
  • Latency (ms) — last query time
  • Memory (%) — browser JS heap
  • Session timer (HH:MM:SS)

Dialogs:

  • Destructive Operation confirmation: appears when query contains DELETE and Dry Run is OFF
    • Confirm → executes DELETE
    • Cancel → nothing happens

Administration panel (4 tabs, SysAdmin only)

Tab 1: Access Control

  • Statistics: active rules count, users count, roles count
  • Filters: search by name, filter by category/type/status
  • Table: Subject (avatar+name+email), Type, Category, Status, Valid Until, Actions
  • Actions per Active rule: Revoke 🚫 (deactivates, keeps record) / Delete 🗑️ (permanent)
  • Actions per Revoked rule: Edit ✏️ (with Activate button inside) / Delete 🗑️
  • Grant Access dialog:
    • Subject type: User or Role (radio)
    • Dropdown: dynamic search of users or roles
    • Access Level: ReadOnly (10) / DML (20) / DDL (30)
    • Valid Until: date picker (empty = permanent)
    • Comment: text field
    • Save / Cancel

Tab 2: Blacklist

  • Statistics: System rules count (🔒, immutable), Manual rules count, Total
  • Table: Icon, Name, Source (System/Manual), Type (Table/Field/Keyword), Reason, Actions
  • System rules have NO action buttons — cannot be edited or deleted
  • Add Rule dialog:
    • Record type: Table / Field / Keyword (radio)
    • Value: text input (e.g. SysUser, Account.SecretKey, DROP)
    • Description: shown to users when their query is blocked
    • Save / Cancel
  • Hardcoded system rules (always blocked, no exceptions): xp_cmdshell, pg_read_file, pg_sleep, pg_terminate_backend, OPENROWSET, DROP DATABASE, DnSql* table modifications

Tab 3: Execution Logs

  • Filters: search text, date From/To, quick presets: Day / Week / Month
  • Table: Time, User, Query (truncated), Duration (ms), Rows, Status (Success 🟢 / Error 🔴 / Syntax ⚠️)
  • Pagination: 50 records per page
  • Click any row → Query Detail popup:
    • Metadata (user, time, duration, rows, status)
    • Error text in red (if Status=Error)
    • Full query with syntax highlighting
    • Copy button

Tab 4: System Settings

  • System Info block (read-only): package version, DBMS, active rules count, DB ping latency
  • Sliders (apply immediately, no save button):
    • Query Timeout: 5s–300s (default 30s)
    • Log Retention: 0–365 days (default 90)
    • Max Rows: 100–10,000 (default 1,000)
  • Toggle: Auto-Abort Heavy Queries (kills queries >1GB RAM)
  • Maintenance Mode:
    • Large toggle with ACTIVE (yellow) / INACTIVE (gray) indicator
    • Custom message text field (shown to users during maintenance)
    • When ACTIVE: all non-SysAdmin users cannot execute queries
    • SysAdmins are NOT blocked during maintenance
    • No auto-expiry — must be turned off manually
  • Service Actions:
    • Check Connection → toast: “Database connection established (X ms)” or error
    • Check Access Level → toast showing current role
    • Clear Logs → requires confirmation → toast: “Deleted: X records” (irreversible)

All system messages (exact text)

Success toasts (green)

  • “Settings saved”
  • “Rule added”
  • “Rule updated”
  • “Database connection established (X ms)”
  • “Deleted: X records”

Error toasts (red)

  • “Network error”
  • “No database connection”
  • “403 access denied” (session expired or role revoked)

Results panel messages

  • “X rows returned in Y ms”
  • “X rows changed in Y ms”
  • “Statement executed successfully. (Y ms)”
  • “Results limited to X rows. Use LIMIT in your query for precise control.”
  • “Access denied. Your access level is Read-only. This operation requires DML access.”
  • “Access denied. Your access level is DML. This operation requires DDL access.”
  • “This query is blocked by the system. Reason: [description]”
  • “Query execution timeout exceeded.”
  • “Multi-statement queries are not allowed for Read-only access.”

Confirm dialogs

  • “Revoke this access? The user will lose access immediately.”
  • “Delete this access rule permanently? This cannot be undone.”
  • “Delete this blacklist rule? Queries matching this pattern will no longer be blocked.”
  • “Clear all logs? This action cannot be undone.”

Security mechanics (for accurate content)

  1. Access check: SysAdmin role via SysUserInRole OR active DnSqlAccessRule record
  2. Dry Run: Executes query in a real database transaction, collects results, then ROLLBACK. No data committed.
  3. Literal masking: Before blacklist analysis, content inside single quotes is masked. Prevents false positives (e.g., the text ‘DROP TABLE’ in a WHERE clause doesn’t trigger the block).
  4. LIMIT injection: For SELECT without LIMIT, the backend automatically adds LIMIT X (PostgreSQL) or wraps with TOP X (MSSQL)
  5. Multi-statement protection: ReadOnly users: queries with multiple ;-separated statements are rejected entirely
  6. DnSql self-protection:* Any modification of SQL Cor’s own config tables is blocked regardless of access level
  7. Cloud DML: Creatio Cloud blocks standard DBExecutor.Execute. SQL Cor uses CustomQuery.ExecuteNonQuery via .NET reflection as a workaround.

Content strategy (from previous planning)

LinkedIn content plan (6-week launch sequence)
