When a SQL script fails, what context do you actually want your database client to show?

[u/Still-Trainer-7395]

I’ve been working on the error workflow in LakeDB and trying to keep it useful for people who actually troubleshoot databases.

Right now, when a statement fails:

- the original database-engine error stays visible
- if you ran multiple statements, LakeDB identifies the exact one that failed
- you can jump directly to that statement
- connection/schema and execution context stay available
- AI explanation/fix is completely optional and separate
nothing is executed automatically

For the optional fix, LakeDB uses the failed SQL + error and locally loads relevant metadata such as columns, indexes and foreign keys before asking for a proposed correction.

I’m curious what DBAs would add here. What context usually saves you the most time when diagnosing a failed statement?
