24 alternatives to GitHub Copilot for SQL

Copilot has proven quite handy as a "smarter Intellisense" tool for me. It often accurately predicts the arguments I need for functions, including their types. Occasionally, when I start typing `a.map(`, it automatically fills in the transformation code I intended to write. The key enabler is the ability to ignore most suggestion. They don't get in my way. The simpler the task I'm working on, the higher the likelihood it gets it right. This is where I get the most benefit from Copilot, as I already understand what I'm coding, why I'm coding it, and how it should appear. Copilot sometimes…

    Hey HN, I'm Andrew, one of the creators of Void. I made this open source version of Cursor where you can get all of Cursor's core features but in a fully-customizable IDE (ctrl+k, ctrl+L). We love Cursor but there are so many other features we want to build, like allowing AI to edit multiple files at once, or giving AI better understanding of your file system. Void is the open-source, fully customizable tool we've been wanting. The hard part: we're building Void as a fork of vscode. The repo has great documentation for extensions, but going deeper gets pretty involved. All of the code is…

    Hey, HN! I was trying to find a good Copilot alternative since my experience with copilot degraded a lot and recent OpenAI drama leaves me no hope for improvement and i decided to take a look at self-hosting options. At the same time Copilot net is a small one - just 12b parameters and 2k of context. You can run much bigger networks locally in 2023. I have figured out that there are no good local options: most of the VS Code plugins simply connect neural networks to the code while copilot has extensive post and pre processing steps. Some of them still work with original copilot plugin (ie…

    I work mostly in the terminal but found myself constantly switching to bloated GUIs like SSMS only for the simple task of browsing tables and run queries. And I didn't find Existing SQL TUIs intuitive, having to read documentation to learn keybindings and CLI flags to connect. Given I had recently switched to linux, I found myself using vs code's sql database extension. Something was awfully wrong. I wanted something like lazygit for databases – run it, connect, and query and frankly just make it enjoyable to access data. Sqlit is a keyboard-driven SQL TUI with: - Context-based keybindings…

    Github Copilot is a great tool for leveraging GPTs while coding, but I find that it is too “open loop” for more complex tasks that require Q&A, feedback to guide it in a particular direction, iteration on code execution errors, etc. There is a large class of tasks that are better accomplished in an iterative, stateful chat-like interface. I have been experimenting with a local command line chat interface to GPT-4 and my mind was blown once again a few days ago when I copied documentation for a pretty involved API into the model context and managed to chat-guide GPT-4 to implement the API in…
