Introduction to LumiCode

Prev Next

LumiCode puts everything you do in Luminesce into one fast, keyboard-driven terminal tool. You can write SQL with code completion that knows your catalog, explore and chart the results, ask Candela for help, and find out exactly why a query failed, all in the same place.

What you can do with LumiCode

  • Write and run SQL with syntax colouring, error highlighting, and completion for every provider, field and function you have access to.

  • Explore results row by row, grouped with totals, as statistics, or as one of more than a dozen kinds of chart.

  • Ask Candela, FINBOURNE's AI agent, to explain or improve a query, then run its suggestions in one step.

  • Browse your catalog of providers and views, including what each view is built from and what depends on it.

  • Search your history of queries, API calls and access checks, and diagnose any query run in depth.

  • Work with other FINBOURNE services: Drive, Saved Queries in Workspaces, and the Configuration Store.

  • Download other Luminesce binaries, such as provider hosts and drivers, and keep LumiCode itself up to date.

Where to start

  1. How do I install LumiCode? Install LumiCode and sign in. It takes a few minutes.

  2. Getting started with LumiCode. Run, explore, chart and save your first query in about fifteen minutes.

  3. A tour of LumiCode. See its main features, one screen at a time.

  4. LumiCode Commands. Look up any command in full.

In LumiCode itself, type /help at any time for a list of every command, or /help followed by a command's name for its full help.

Note: Candela is currently available to some customers only. Everything else in LumiCode works without it, and LumiCode tells you if Candela isn't available in your domain.
