# Introduction

![WireBootstrap Query Service](https://3684049557-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MTs5tnA5Rpr1s2TyjzP%2F-MbRAkwdnPicViXxK-RJ%2F-MbRArmHabixALE6b7er%2Fquery-service.png?alt=media\&token=b5c27886-e3c9-4737-8dc6-4e4a992409ae)

The *WireBootstrap Query Service* (query service) is a [Data Connector](https://docs.wirebootstrap.com/wirebootstrap/connecting-to-data/data-connectors#allow) that allows data in SQL database services to be queried directly from a web browser.  This eliminates the need to create custom data service layers between front-end code and SQL data.

The query service runs as a Windows Service and accepts HTTP API requests directly from the WireBootstrap JavaScript framework.

The current version of the query service supports Microsoft SQL Server.  Direct to MySQL and ODBC sources are in development.  Cube and ODBO data sources are also planned.
