By following the steps in this guide, you will:
-
Set up a workspace and connect your database resources
-
Write and run SQL queries in Notebook
-
Use Copilot to generate SQL from natural language
-
Publish a deployable AI agent
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
-
A database instance registered with DMS. See Register an Alibaba Cloud database instance and Register a database hosted on a third-party cloud service or a self-managed database
-
Security hosting enabled for your instance. See the "Enable security hosting" section in Security hosting
