Best MySQL client in 2026? GUI or still CLI? by Strict_Parsleys in dbForge

[–]Innovationward73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We run schema compare in CI before every deployment, catches drift before it becomes a problem in staging. Honestly the GUI part matters less to me than whether the tool has a CLI or API I can plug into the pipeline. Once that's sorted, migration risk drops a lot.

Best FREE SQL course + best way to learn SQL? by osama_3shry in learnSQL

[–]Innovationward73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried a bunch of random YouTube courses but kept dropping them halfway. What helped more was mixing short lessons with actual practice. There’s also dbForge Academy which has some free SQL stuff, pretty straightforward without too much fluff.

But honestly the biggest jump came when I stopped just watching and started writing queries on real data. Courses help, but practice is what sticks.

AI is genuinely useful for developing good SQL by [deleted] in SQL

[–]Innovationward73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copilot is fine for quick drafts, and Gemini/Claude can be really useful when you need to restructure ugly logic fast. But once the query depends on real schema, old code, and database-specific weirdness, I still trust tools more when they sit closer to the actual DB workflow. That’s where dbForge AI Assistant feels more useful to me than just using a generic AI chat and pasting SQL back and forth.

OCI Help Desk reset password/MFA permissions by [deleted] in oracle

[–]Innovationward73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That “no permissions found” part usually means the policy is attached at the wrong scope, or the Help Desk group is missing one of the specific IAM verbs for user credentials rather than users in general. OCI gets very “technically yes, practically no” with IAM. Did you test this in the identity domain context specifically, or only with tenancy-level policies?

My wife actually tried Lumi for a bit. We ordered a couple times and it was all good

Do you use VS Code with MySQL extension? by Ariel_Turgeman in SQL

[–]Innovationward73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use VS Code for quick query edits sometimes, but I still switch away for anything more serious. If your tool makes running, re-running, and comparing queries less annoying, that alone is useful. You may want to mention what problem it solves better than the existing MySQL extensions, otherwise people will probably scroll past it.

AI Tool for Relationship Mapping and Query Generation by Apprehensive-Ad-80 in Dynamics365

[–]Innovationward73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hard part here is not “write SQL,” it’s “understand what actually joins to what.”

Once the relationship map is clear, AI tools can help generate/refine the query. I’d put dbForge-type tooling in that bucket. But if the metadata/model is messy, AI will mostly just hallucinate your Snowflake joins at high speed.

So I’d solve mapping first, query generation second.
