## Asking questions and running queries
### Can I use SQL with Metabase?
[Yes](http://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/users-guide/04-asking-questions.html#using-sql).

### Does Metabase support SQL Joins?
Metabase does not expose a "Join" operator, but we do provide ways for non-SQL-proficient users to perform the tasks that joins are used for such as filtering or grouping by columns in other tables, etc.

### Why can't I do X in the Query Builder?

We're constantly trying to walk the line between putting more functionality into the GUI interface and creating a confusing mess. You can expect it to improve and change with time, but in the meantime, you can always lean on SQL directly for the complicated matters.
### Why can't I seem to use drill-through or question actions?
Metabase allows you to [click on your charts or tables to explore or zoom in](http://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/users-guide/03-basic-exploration.html), but these features don't currently work with SQL/native queries (this is because Metabase doesn't currently parse these kinds of queries). The same is true of the question actions menu in the bottom-right of the question detail page.

The same is true of the question actions menu in the bottom-right of the question detail page.
However, in [Metabase version 0.25 we introduced nested queries](http://www.metabase.com/blog/Metabase-0.25#nested-questions), a feature that lets you use the results of SQL/native queries as the starting table for GUI-based questions. This means you'll be able to use sophisticated SQL/native queries to create the exact segments you need, and you and your team will be able to use drill-through and actions if you create GUI-based questions from those segments.
