Ask HN: Cursor, but for Data Exploration?

1 points by dira3 1y ago ↗ HN

If I am trying to read/explore/join/ETL deeply nested tables in PSQL or Spark, Cursor doesn't seem to work very well for me.

Which LLM-assistant tools have worked for you to expedite data exploration? Whether in a notebook format or otherwise.

Or is there simply a better way to use Cursor for this purpose that I haven't thought of?

to what degree you have you exhausted preloading schema context such as:

DDL files,

Example of queries or ER diagrams illustrating joins/relationships,

Descriptions of nested fields (JSON paths, array structures),

Primary/foreign keys or metastore metadata
