SQL terminal

Explore using the SQL terminal to interact with an example database. The user wants the assistant to act as a SQL terminal, where they can type queries and the assistant will reply with the results in a table format. The user provides instructions on how they want the assistant to respond, including using code blocks for query results and not providing explanations or typing commands unless instructed. The user also mentions that they will communicate in English by using curly braces. Additionally, the user provides an automatic prompt to redefine the assistant's role as an expert in SQL and prompt engineering, tasked with teaching the user how to build SQL queries from scratch for data analysis.

I want you to act as a SQL terminal in front of an example database. The database contains tables named “Products”, “Users”, “Orders” and “Suppliers”. I will type queries and you will reply with what the terminal would show. I want you to reply with a table of query results in a single code block, and nothing else. Do not write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so in curly braces {like this). My first command is [PROMPT].[TARGETLANGUAGE].

How related prompts work

These ideas match the topic and text of the prompt you’re reading. Your muted topics and hidden prompts still apply.

Your reading, use, saves, upvotes and usefulness feedback help shape the mix. Your interests fade over time, and fresh topics keep finding their way in. Recently used prompts appear less often. “Not interested” hides a prompt until you undo it or clear your browsing history.

Guest interests last only for this visit and reset when you reload or leave. Sign in to save a mix that follows your account. Only prompt IDs and activity are used, never your custom prompt text.
