Register Now

Do you enjoy the flexibility of Airtable but find the cost limits frustrating? Do spreadsheets work for you until you need to link multiple tables or track relationships? Are you interested in organizing your research data in a proper database, but SQL still feels like too big a leap?

No-code databases provide a middle ground. They allow you to create structured, relational data models and benefit from the efficiency of a database engine without needing to write queries or manage complex infrastructure.

In this workshop, we’ll introduce the core ideas behind no-code databases, explore several open-source options, and guide you through installing and setting up your first local database. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how these tools can support research, collaboration, and sustainable data management.
