SQL Quality

SQL Translate

Translate SQL across warehouse dialects.

Convert SQL between Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, MySQL, Databricks, Redshift, DuckDB, and other dialects.

Move SQL across warehouses with fewer manual syntax traps.

The problem it solves

Warehouse migrations and multi-platform support are full of small SQL syntax traps: date functions, casts, arrays, QUALIFY, window behavior, null handling, and dialect-specific functions.

What it does

Translates SQL between source and target dialects.
Flags lossy or review-needed translations.
Supports migration and portability workflows.
Can validate translated SQL when supported.

When to use it

DURING

warehouse migration

WHEN

supporting customers on different warehouses

WHEN

porting Snowflake SQL to BigQuery, Postgres, Databricks, or similar platforms

How it works

The skill identifies source and target dialects, translates the SQL, reviews warnings, and optionally validates the translated query.
