Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Select Star to organize, document, and discover datasets across your entire company data stack. It automatically catalogs your metadata, analyzes queries, and maps column-level lineage so you can see where data originates and how downstream dashboards use it. You can build entity-relationship diagrams directly from SQL query history, locate unused tables to reduce warehouse costs, and create semantic models for large language models. The system also connects directly with AI assistants through a dedicated metadata server API.
