What the AI SQL generator uses
A generic SQL prompt may have no knowledge of your column names, relationships, or business definitions. A TTSQL project keeps that context close to the request. Describe important tables, document metrics, and add manually reviewed examples to guide generation.
Validation and correction loops can catch some invalid or unsafe drafts and retry with feedback. They cannot prove the business meaning of the result. Human review remains part of the workflow.
Evaluate an AI SQL tool on your own questions
Build a small evaluation set from questions you already know how to answer. Include ordinary lookups, joins, date boundaries, and ambiguous metrics. Compare the returned rows and totals against independently checked results.
Track failures by cause: wrong column, wrong join, missing exclusion, incorrect date window, or mistaken business definition. Improve the schema or Knowledge entry that addresses the cause, then rerun both the failed case and related cases.
- Schema grounding: does the draft use real columns and valid relationships?
- Meaning: does it answer the exact requested metric and population?
- Review: can a user see and change the SQL before it runs?
- Integration: does the API make generation and execution behavior explicit?
