#3This is solving a problem few people have. They assume your table name, column names and relationships is confidential information. For most people such metadata is not confidential.

#4Long term, SQL will be phased out for new LLM-friendly query languages. The cost of AI generating tens of billions of queries per day creates a new incentive for rationality and efficiency that overcomes the human institutional weight of legacy languages. I'm working on such a language now: https://memelang.net/

Why would it be phased out? This doesn’t track. If anything SQL is stickier than ever since LLMs are actually pretty good at generating it.

That doesn't make sense. LLMs will be used to write SQL, I'm sure (I do that) but replacing SQL?

If history is any indication, you've got it backwards: it's more likely that LLMs will be phased out for SQL.

I've always found it odd that most databases don't expose a kind of query bytecode API that SQL can be converted to. It would allow more kinds of languages, different SQL dialects, compile-time optimizations, and perhaps ORM could be compiled directly into your target database spec. Would reduce the amount of string operations by client code, at least
