The Smart Way to Talk to Your Database: Why Hybrid API + NL2SQL Wins

May 28, 2025 · Dmitry Narizhnykh

In our setup, the backend always validates NL2SQL output before execution:

  • Read-only enforced: only SELECT, SHOW, and EXPLAIN statements are allowed.

  • Schema-aware parsing: we check that referenced tables/columns actually exist in the target DB.

  • Permissions respected: queries run under the current user's scoped connection settings.

  • No direct DB execution: everything goes through a /execute API endpoint with built-in safeguards, logging, and optional approval hooks.

So the LLM suggests, but the backend decides. Think of it as a SQL co-pilot — never the pilot.
