Ask HN: Good tool to build a web interface on top of SQL Data

Hello, I was wondering if there was a good tool that could function as a web interface for SQL data. Ideally something I could define the queries for but also have a customizable search front end. Thanks.

For a quick web interface, I’ve used this on top of sqlite and it’s fantastic:

Do you want to code at all or are you looking for something no code?

There are many frameworks with good scaffolding if you tell us your tech background I'm sure you would get lots of pertinent feedback

I can absolutely code if necessary. It was honestly more of the "look" and display of the data that was I looking for more of the shortcut for. I have a computer science degree. I am a little rusty as I work in IT now but should be able to bulldoze through it. I recently downloaded a lot of the data breach info and wanted to sort it in a database and create my own search engine similar to sites like "weleakinfo" and what not for my house. It seemed like a fun project and good opportunity to learn something new. I figured there was some type of platform/framework that was common for that opposed to coding everything from scratch. Just curious though. Thank you for the reply.
