 Ever encountered a SQL query that someone else wrote and you now have to maintain (or maybe you wrote it a few years ago yourself and can't remember). And when you look at it today, it makes your mind go "wtf"?
DatabaseSpy now has an AI-Assistant feature that lets you ask ChatGPT to explain any SQL query to you in plain English.... and many more things: create sample data, write SQL queries, create databases, etc.

And in DatabaseSpy you will find and AI Chat Dialog that lets you use ChatGPT integration to create sample SQL statements, create sample data for a given table structure, create relations between tables that have no keys yet, and so on. Once you send a request and receive the response, you can copy and paste the returned SQL into an existing file or create a new SQL file with the response. 
AI Assistant: extensions in the SQL Editor menu also let you use AI to explain, pretty print, and complete SQL statements.
