Can you feed a DDL with a few tables and views to SQLPROMPT and then ask it to write a complex (or simple, for that matter, ) multi-join query using those tables according to your requirement that you can ALSO FEED INTO SQLPrompt?

Please, clarify.

It's not so much that you "feed" it, as Prompt is already looking at your data structures, so, yeah, that's what it does. It takes your data structures and uses that to generate multi-table queries based on what you tell it in english "give me a list of names in the state of oklahoma" or whatever.

Sounds really good! I have never used SQL Prompt for this purpose but used it for other, mostly code formatting and best practices suggestions purposes.

QUESTION: is SQL PROMPT similar to

Good to hear from you. I have learned quite a few good things from your books and other presentations over the years.

Nope. Copilot is different.

I've found, however, that, to date, they all have one thing in common when it comes to writing SQL beyond the basics and that is that they're all confidently incorrect. They can't help it because they've been trained by confidently incorrect things. They also don't "think". They're not actually a form of "Artificial Intelligence" when it comes to most things. In the world of SQL, they seem more like consensus grinders that are sorely lacking of any bullshit filters.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
