How does this help with R-to-SQL translation?

It specifically looks for 0-vs-1 indexing, character encoding, and NULL handling—details that are critical for making SQL act identically to R code.

Does it support multiple SQL dialects?

Yes, it is dialect-agnostic and provides a framework to research any SQL backend supported by dbplyr, focusing on the specific quirks and versioning of that dialect.

When should I use this skill?

Use it before writing any SQL-generating code, implementing a new SQL translation, or researching database-specific behaviors for dialects like PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or BigQuery.

Why is the documentation step mandatory?

Standardized documentation in the research folder prevents translation errors, provides a clear audit trail of sources, and serves as a reference for future maintenance.

What is the main goal of the sql-research skill?

It ensures that every SQL translation in dbplyr is backed by rigorous research of official database documentation to guarantee correctness before any code is implemented.

数据库管理

Researches and documents database-specific SQL syntax and behaviors to ensure accurate R-to-SQL translations within dbplyr.

关于

This skill provides a structured framework for investigating SQL commands, functions, and edge cases across various database backends. It guides Claude through a rigorous research process—prioritizing official documentation, identifying version-specific differences, and documenting findings in a standardized format—before any SQL-generating code is written. By ensuring SQL correctness through mandatory pre-implementation research, it helps maintain the integrity of translations and reduces bugs within the dbplyr ecosystem.
