Capture why the query changed
Use comments for review notes, business assumptions, exception handling, and questions that would otherwise disappear after the edit.
Guide
Use query comments to keep SQL decisions attached to the logic.
A shared query is only useful if the team still understands the decisions around it. DataPilot query comments help teams keep edge cases, approvals, assumptions, and handoff notes next to the SQL instead of scattering them across chat and tickets.
Keep comments close to versions
When a query evolves, comments still make sense because they live next to version history instead of in disconnected documents.
Carry context into delivery
If the query later powers a recurring report or export, the team can still trace the reasoning that shaped it.
FAQ
What are SQL query comments good for?
They keep decisions, approvals, caveats, and review context attached to the SQL instead of sending that knowledge into chat threads and tickets.
Do comments stay visible next to version history?
Yes. Comments stay close to the same query history, so the reasoning behind a change is easier to interpret later.
Can commented queries still be reused in scheduled delivery?
Yes. Comment context still matters when the same trusted query becomes a recurring report or export.
