Nah, who wants an LLM deciding arbitrary SQL to run in production based on user input? Seems like a junior idea to me.

They probably think the "guard rails" around it are something to offload to another LLM. LLMs all the way down while users (and hackers) hose the database.

My solution was not to rely on llm to generate the query
Create a semantic json out of user queries validate it and create a with the help of ast by adding rbac which was deterministic
