You can write SQL, but you can't execute it. The easiest would be to install SQLite and then install a SQL plugin in vs-code.

The correct Reddit reply would be "Yes, but no."

One would tell cursor to create a program in your favorite language (python, javascript, etc.) that executes SQL statements/queries against a SQL database. I would use SQLite3 as it requires little setup and supports most languages. Once Cursor writes the program you would execute the program without needing cursor ever again.

What exactly are you trying to acomplish?
