Are the SQL PDFs really free?
Yes. Each SQL guide has a printable PDF that you can download without paying. Premium kits add editable, project-ready files for people who reuse them every week.
Which SQL dialect do the examples use?
Most queries use SQL Server syntax, because many Epic Clarity reporting databases run on it. The guides note where Oracle and Snowflake differ, and the SQL Server vs Oracle vs Snowflake guide covers the main porting traps.
Do any templates contain patient data?
No. Table names follow standard Epic Clarity and all scenarios, tickets, and figures are illustrative. Always run queries in a non-production environment first and follow your organization's privacy rules.
