Today I was going do some quality work using HiveSQL. But I kept getting login error. Usually this may happen where there is a maintenance going on with the service. I also thought maybe my account was suspended for overuse or something.
hen I found out that HiveSQL is no longer funded by Decentralized Hive Fund. Good news is the HiveSQL funding proposal is not far away from being funded. Currently, the proposal is receiving 19.77m in votes and the return proposal is at 22.44m. So, I am optimistic it will be funded and become free once again soon.
In the meantime, those who use HiveSQL and Apps that rely on HiveSQL won't be able to use it for free. There is still paid subscription option available too.
What is HiveSQL?
HiveSQL is a database that stores all Hive blockchain data on MS SQL Server and as a service it lets users get Hive data more efficiently compared to getting data directly from Hive blockchain. It is created and maintained by 
This service known to be easy and fast to user. Moreover it is known to be reliable in performance and accuracy. I personally was motivated to learn SQL because of this service and my desire to learn more about HIve.
I use it on regular basis to quickly get the data I interested. I also used it to develop two Apps: HiveLibrarian and LibrarianSearch which assist in getting task specific data like past conversations, rich list, HP delegations, and searching posts for curation purposes. Without this service these apps are dead for now.

P.S. Arcange just published an update post on HiveSQL explaining the situation and it seems like a temporary thing. Feel free to read more here:
