Cursor for SQL

Cursor is an AI-native code editor (VS Code fork) providing powerful AI assistance including for SQL development. Hobby tier free with limited usage; Pro at $20/month with 500 fast requests; Business at $40/user/month with enhanced features. While not database-specific, Cursor’s AI capabilities apply effectively to SQL development: Chat understands project context including schema files, cmd+K generates queries from descriptions, and tab completion predicts next statements. The codebase indexing means AI understands your entire project (schema definitions, ORM models, migration files) providing context-aware suggestions. Works with any SQL dialect based on file types and project context. Database extensions (PostgreSQL, SQLTools) add query execution and result viewing. Best suited for developers who want a general-purpose AI editor that handles SQL alongside other languages.
