Is there demand for a tool that turns natural language to SQL without database?

3•viewer_midoria•6mo ago
The tool lets you upload your schema, auto selects the tables required for the query and instantly starts generating SQL code for any database without ever needing access to the data itself.

Unlike other tools, there’s no need to give up database access. It also lets you rework existing sql queries.

Honestly, I built this for myself. In my last interview, I totally bluffed about being an advanced SQL expert… but I didn’t know a thing. On my first day, they handed me their database and told me to sort out marketing and user data on Metabase. So, I built this tool just to survive the job.

Now, I’m curious if any of you could use something like this, too. The tool also explains its logic step-by-step, so you can present your work confidently (and actually understand what’s going on).

There are two main use cases I see:

For companies that don’t want to connect their database to an AI tool for security or privacy reasons.

For folks like me, who need to write SQL like a pro, but would rather not admit they’re learning on the job.

If this post gets 1,001 upvotes, I’ll launch it.

P.S. It’s been three months, and I’m doing great at the job!

LLMs, even local ones, are perfectly good at this exact task.
Urahandystar•6mo ago
Is it a billion dollar business? Probably not you should launch it anyway it would be fun for you to see it in the wild and how many people interact with it. You may also learn a thing or two when user interact with it in the wild.
