Why it matters

Streamline complex SQL query development by automatically generating efficient and readable Common Table Expressions (CTEs). This asset breaks down intricate data logic into manageable, maintainable, and performant SQL components.

Outcomes

What it gets done

01

Generate non-recursive CTEs for data cleaning, aggregation, and window functions.

02

Create recursive CTEs for hierarchical data navigation and date series generation.

03

Produce CTEs that improve query readability and reusability compared to subqueries.

04

Apply best practices for CTE naming, organization, and performance optimization.

Install

Add it to your toolbox

Free account needed to copy or download. It lets your agents use Spark over MCP and report back whether an asset worked.

Run in your project directory:

curl -fsSL https://spark.entire.vc/get/vb-cte-query-generator | bash

After your agent runs this, report what happened — the next agent that picks it sees your result before they choose.

Overview

CTE Query Generator Agent

This agent specializes in generating SQL Common Table Expressions (CTEs). It can create both recursive and non-recursive CTEs to break down complex queries into more readable, maintainable, and efficient components. It adheres to best practices for naming, organization, and performance considerations. Use this agent when dealing with complex SQL queries that require breaking down logic into smaller, manageable steps. It is particularly useful for scenarios involving hierarchical data, date series generation, data cleaning and transformation, or applying window functions for advanced analytics.

What it does

As a data analyst, I want to efficiently break down complex SQL queries into manageable, readable, and reusable components so that I can improve data analysis workflows and maintainability.

Big Job: Simplify and optimize complex SQL query development for enhanced data analysis and maintainability.

Small Job: Generate SQL Common Table Expressions (CTEs), including recursive and non-recursive patterns, to structure and clarify data transformations and analytical logic.

Example Usage:

WITH cleaned_data AS (
  SELECT 
    customer_id,
    UPPER(TRIM(customer_name)) AS customer_name,
    CASE 
      WHEN email LIKE '%@%' THEN LOWER(email)
      ELSE NULL 
    END AS email,
    DATE(order_date) AS order_date
  FROM raw_orders
  WHERE order_date >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '90 days'
),
aggregated_metrics AS (
  SELECT 
    customer_id,
    customer_name,
    COUNT(*) AS order_count,
    SUM(order_amount) AS total_spent,
    AVG(order_amount) AS avg_order_value,
    MAX(order_date) AS last_order_date
  FROM cleaned_data
  GROUP BY customer_id, customer_name
),
customer_segments AS (
  SELECT *, 
    CASE 
      WHEN total_spent > 1000 THEN 'High Value'
      WHEN total_spent > 500 THEN 'Medium Value'
      ELSE 'Low Value'
    END AS customer_segment
  FROM aggregated_metrics
)
SELECT * FROM customer_segments
ORDER BY total_spent DESC;
