Get the most out of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) with AI-powered SQL query generator

Summary: Shows how easy it is to use the AI-powered SQL query builder together with SSMS. The AI Bot boosts your productivity and creativity by generating formatted and ready-to-use SQL queries in a matter of seconds ⚡️

Introduction

SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is a great tool for working with SQL Server. It has a lot of features, but one of the most important ones is the ability to write SQL queries. However, writing SQL queries can be a tedious task. You need to know the structure of the database, the tables, the columns, and the relationships between them. You also need to know the syntax of the SQL language. This is where the AI-powered SQL query builder comes in. It can help you write SQL queries faster and more efficiently.

How does AIHelperBot work

The AI-powered SQL query builder uses OpenAI to generate SQL queries based on the input you provide. The input is natural language description of what you want to see in the query. The AI-powered SQL query builder will then generate a SQL query that matches your input. The generated SQL query is formatted and ready-to-use. You can copy and paste it into SSMS and run it.

How to use the AI-powered SQL query builder

To start the free trial you only need to sign in. Once signed in you will land on the SQL query builder. To use it optimally (with SSMS) you need to click the settings and select "MSSQL" as language. This will enable the AI-powered SQL query builder to generate queries for MSSQL databases:

To generate a SQL statement you simply need to type what you want to see using natural language (i.e. everyday non-SQL language). For example, if you want to generate a query that gets all employees who was created this year you can type in the following:

employees created this year

The AI-powered SQL query builder will then generate the following SQL query:

SELECT
  *
FROM
  Employees
WHERE
  YEAR (CreatedDate) = YEAR (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
