Generate SQL CREATE TABLE Statements with AI Bot
AI Bot generates SQL queries for you in seconds but it can also easily be used to build your database schema, and also migrations. The AI Bot is a effective tool to use when you want to create a database schema for a new project, or when you want to create a migration for an existing project.
Create database schema
To demonstrate this I will use AI Bot to create a database schema for next-auth. The database schema comprises of 4 tables and stores authentication and user data. I have take the liberty to straighten out the notation so that all uses snake case (as well as adding created_at and updated_at columns).
Let's start with the user
table. It has 7 columns, id
, name
, email
, email_verified
, image
, created_at
and updated_at
. To create the table and columns we ask AI Bot to create the user
table (since other tables has a foreign key to user.id
we will create the user
table first):
AI Bot returns (snippet link):
And the account
table and columns:
AI Bot returns (snippet link):
And the session
table and columns:
AI Bot returns (snippet link):
And the verification_token
table and columns:
AI returns (snippet link):
AI Bot will generate the create table SQL statement and deduct any information it can from the column names. You can feed it with more information to make it fit your requirements. The easiest way to do this is too add column specifications in parenthesis after the column name such as:
Notice after re-running the command the created_at
and updated_at
columns are now timestamp columns with default values. Sometimes adding more information and re-running the command will give you a better result. AI Bot makes it not only a breeze to create a database schema but also to create migrations.
Create database migration
Let's say we wanted to add a password
column to the user
table and we wanted account.user_id
to be index along with user.email
. We can do this by adding the column to the command:
AI Bot returns (snippet link):
Conclusion
Using AI Bot I have build a database schema for a project and created a migration in minutes. Using AI Bot you can use SQL directly without having to rely on 3rd party tools or libraries (no more ORM abstractions). It keeps your tech stack simple and you can use it in any language. You can use it to generate SQL for any database (Oracle, MSSQL, Postgres, SQLite etc.). It's not limited to MySQL. Whether seasoned or new to SQL, AI Bot can help you build better and faster database schemas and migrations.
