Problem Description

Writing, debugging, and understanding complex SQL queries is a significant challenge, especially for users who are not SQL experts or are exploring unfamiliar database schemas. This creates a barrier to data access and slows down productivity.

Many modern data tools are integrating AI to solve this problem, but this capability is currently absent in the OSS version of CloudBeaver.

Proposed Solution

Integrate AI-powered features directly into the SQL Editor of the CloudBeaver OSS edition. Key features would include:

Natural Language to SQL: Allow users to type a plain English question (e.g., "show me the top 10 customers by sales in the last month") and have the AI generate the corresponding SQL query.
SQL Fix & Explain: A one-click option to automatically correct syntax errors in a broken query or provide a natural language explanation of what a complex query does.

This could be implemented by allowing users to configure their own LLM API key (e.g., for OpenAI, Google Gemini, or a local model) in the settings, keeping the feature flexible and cost-effective.

Why this is a good idea

Democratizes Data Access: Empowers less technical users to query data independently, lowering the barrier to entry.
Boosts Productivity: Drastically speeds up query development and debugging for all users, from beginners to experts.
Modernizes the Platform: Aligns CloudBeaver OSS with the current generation of data tools and makes it a highly competitive choice for the community.

Hello @metalshanked

Thanks for the idea.
Actually, CloudBeaver already supports AI in the SQL Editor: https://dbeaver.com/docs/cloudbeaver/AI-Smart-Assistance/
But it is available only in our PRO versions. You can try them, for free: https://dbeaver.com/trial/

Also, new features will be available in the next release, 25.2.0: AI chat, AI metadata description, and AI Error handling.
On September 8, 2025.
