Show HN: Use Explain Code App to Write SQL

5 pointsallynjalford4y ago7 comments

Explain Code App works with SQL, a popular language for querying databases. You can tell Explain Code App what you want in plain language, and the app will generate the matching SQL code for you.

1. I want at least photos of a demo before I sign up or ideally a very simple toolbox for me to paste maybe 10 lines of code in and get an explanation. But still curious, so signing up anyway.

2. Ublock Origin seems to break your sign up page.

3. Have a warning that it is slow.

Otherwise, this would be great to use for SQL.

I added a page just for this tool. https://www.explaincode.app/sql

Cheers.

I can understand why it works the way it does, but JOINS!!!

At this point this tool appears to be very basic. Who is the target audience?

At this point a visual query builder (like in Access, SSMS, DbForge and plenty of other tools) is more capable.

Such editors don't allow someone to create an SQL statement from pure text.
