Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

The DB tools that connect to AWS Athena are not ideal, and VS Code would be a far superior environment to work on. Besides, it integrates with github and S3 already.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

I would love a simple integrated interface that could edit and run SQL code against Athena tables.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

I tried configuring SQLTools with Athena extensions, but it is still incomplete. I tried to connect with ODBC or JDBC, to no avail (Power BI can do it, but not VS Code)

**Additional context**

Research direction

The issue names VS Code, AWS Athena, SQL, S3, and GitHub integration, but mentions no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying the extension area responsible for AWS database integrations and determining the scope of Athena support. Done means a scoped interface for editing and running SQL against Athena tables, with agreed behavior and validation.
