AI code review, but for SQL.

Catch SQL anti-patterns, readability issues, performance risks, and safety problems before SQL ships.

Start reviewing SQL with Altimate Code.

The problem it solves

SQL review is slow because reviewers have to check syntax, joins, filters, performance, readability, and data risk manually. Generic AI can comment on SQL, but it does not follow a repeatable data engineering review process.

What it does

Detects SQL anti-patterns such as SELECT *, cartesian joins, missing limits, and function filters.

Flags readability, maintainability, and performance issues.

Grades or summarizes query quality for review.

Explains why each issue matters and suggests concrete fixes.
