Database Workbench comes with an optional AI features. The AI Assistant can be used to write SQL, explain SQL code, convert stored routines from one system to another, search your database and much more.

Overview

The AI features can be used to:

Convert normal language into SQL queries, based on your database. Describe what you need and the AI Assistant will write the SQL for you. You can test your queries, add filtering, joins and so on.
Explain SQL directly from the SQL Editor or View Editor. Use the context menu, let the AI Assistant break down your SQL statement and explain it you clause by clause.
Fixing mistakes in your SQL has never been easier. Submit your SQL statement and the AI Assistant will check for syntax errors, invalid column names or incorrect system functions.
Create tables even faster by describing table purpose and let the AI Object Assistant generate the columns.

The AI features are powered by third party services created by AI providers. Using these services comes at an additional costs, which is why you need an additional subscription, either from Upscene or by yourself from one of the supported providers.
