A more natural way to use Google Colab is to use it to write Python.  R works, but some features (such as mapping your Google Drive) are not yet supported:

If you have been paying attention, you are likely aware that generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, can write code. Since SQL is a kind of code, it follows that AI tools should be able to write SQL queries for you. This is not cheating. The critical skills in data analysis are (a) knowing which questions to ask and (b) interpreting the answers lurking in the data. Mastering arcane syntax should not be thought of as the critical skill. Indeed, the original intention of SQL was to replace other, lower-level languages that require even more arcane syntax and drudgery.
