Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is one of the most popular, lightweight, and versatile code editors available today. Developed by Microsoft, it’s designed to work with a wide range of programming languages and tools, offering support for extensions that make it even more powerful. When paired with SQL, VS Code becomes a powerful environment for querying databases, managing data, and writing efficient SQL scripts.
Since this client is installed on your local machine, if your administrator has concerns about accessing data in AEP from a different machine, you should request that they enable the Data Distiller whitelisting feature. This ensures that only IP addresses from the corporate network are allowed access. Even if someone attempts to spoof an IP and send a query, the responses would still be restricted to the corporate network, preventing unauthorized access.
This feature was released in Data Distiller in October 2024. A blog and a tutorial will come soon.
If you're someone who isn't interested in understanding the SQL being generated, there are clear limitations to what coding assistants—or any assistants—can do for you. Without grasping the nuances, you'll likely struggle with suggestions that may be incorrect or overly complex, making the process more difficult. This is why conversations about developer productivity assume that developers have the expertise to use these assistants to automate parts of the code they already understand. These tools are not a substitute for a skilled SQL developer.
The same principle applies to any AI assistants or task agents. If you don't understand what's happening and why, there's a high risk that a simple mistake could lead to system-wide issues. AI assistants can be very convincing, but they can also provide incorrect answers without you realizing it. This highlights a broader challenge in communication with AI—if you're not fact-checking or fully understanding the context, you could find yourself in serious trouble.
When working with coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, it's crucial to manage expectations, especially when dealing with complex coding tasks. While Copilot excels at speeding up coding workflows and providing useful suggestions for standard operations, it encounters limitations in handling deeply nested data structures, such as arrays and maps. These structures, which are common in Data Distiller queries and data models, often require a nuanced understanding of context and relationships that current language models struggle to fully grasp. In our experiments with SQL, especially in scenarios involving complex subqueries, joins, and deeply nested data, we've found that Copilot may struggle to generate accurate or optimal code.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique that can help alleviate some of these limitations. In a RAG-based system, the model augments its generation by retrieving relevant information from a knowledge base or external documents. This approach can improve accuracy in tasks like querying complex datasets because it combines generated content with factual information retrieval, making the model more context-aware.
However, there are trade-offs with using RAG-based approaches:
When you install GitHub Copilot extension in Visual Studio Code, it integrates into your development environment, offering code suggestions as you type. Here's how it works:

GitHub Copilot isn't free, but it's highly affordable considering the significant time it can save during development. What is cool is that you can get a free trial for a month to try and see if it meets your needs.
