Add ability to run queries remotely for large databases

Open aeisenberg opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Running queries over the linux kernel is difficult because the database itself is so large. Some users have requested the ability to run queries remotely and gather the results back in the results view.

This may not be top priority because:

  1. Maybe we should be running these queries through code-scanning
  2. This feature might already be available through codespaces or vscode remote. It might just be a matter of documenting how to do this.

Code-scanning isn't a great solution when you're still prototyping and developing queries.

VS Code remote sounds promising though. Link to ticket for others reading along: https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/issues/460

We haven't prioritized this feature yet, but we may in the future. Currently, we are expecting that using codespaces will be sufficient for most use cases.
