Automatically document SQL tables using AI

No one likes writing table documentation.

It’s manual, time consuming, and often sits at the bottom of your list of priorities.

Regardless, it’s still important – much business logic and underlying context has been lost forever due to missing table documentation.

Luckily, you no longer have to write documentation for your SQL tables if you don’t want to. AI can do it for you.

Use artificial intelligence to automate SQL table documentation

Data Sidekick includes 10+ data apps that combine the power of AI with context from your data warehouse to automate common data-related tasks, including documentation.

Before Sidekick, how did you handle documentation?
I know how important documentation is, but it’s one of those things that often goes neglected. Let’s be real, “I love writing documentation!” isn’t something you hear anyone say. Even though it’s a pain, I know it’s important – getting it done (and getting it done right) ensures that you preserve important logic and context. Documentation also saves you rework in the long run, helps teams avoid confusion, and keeps you on the good side of your future teammates. … still, documenting tables is a total pain. Well, it was a pain.
How has Sidekick changed the way you use SQL?
Sidekick saves me 30+ minutes per table, but it’s not just about time. It also saves my sanity. It gets me about 80% of the way there with table documentation, and from there I can do a quick review, make edits if needed, and add additional business context where necessary. It’s shockingly fast and lets me save my brain power for other tasks.
