gaia.aip.de ADQL
When to Use
Use this skill when users need natural-language-to-ADQL help, TAP query generation, or gaia.aip.de workflow support.
Procedure
- Identify the target table and required columns.
- Translate the scientific intent into explicit ADQL.
- Capture the exact query text for provenance.
- Explain assumptions, filters, joins, and limits.
Canonical Routing
This is a specialized or legacy example skill. For new work, start with astro-data-access-umbrella and route through:
gaia-aip-data-access
tap-pyvo-adql-access
Keep this skill for dataset-specific examples, but prefer the canonical skills for new implementations, live probes, REANA execution, and plotting/cache conventions.
Pitfalls
- Avoid ambiguous joins.
- Always state row limits and filtering conditions.
- Watch for unit and epoch assumptions.
Verification
- Final ADQL query is shown explicitly.
- The target table/service is named.
- Query assumptions are documented.
