The record

Purpose: The engine turns plain-English database questions into SQL, validates and runs the SQL, then streams back results.
AI providers: Ollama runs locally by default, with OpenAI, Gemini, and Groq available as opt-in cloud providers.
Database support: It connects to PostgreSQL and MySQL and can query multiple same-type databases in parallel.
Schema retrieval: Hybrid retrieval combines BM25 and sentence-transformer vectors to select relevant schema context for a question.
Query workflow: Users can review and edit generated SQL before execution, and the interface streams progress through the query stages.
Results: Results support sorting, pagination at 50 rows per page, CSV and JSON downloads, and tab-separated copying.
Query limits: SELECT queries receive a default LIMIT, explicit result counts are capped at 1,000 rows by default, and query execution times out after 30 seconds by default.
Write queries: INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE are allowed by default, with warning banners; the README recommends a read-only database user to block writes.
Local privacy: With the default Ollama provider, questions, schema, and generated SQL stay on the user's machine, and the app says it has no telemetry.
Cloud privacy: With an opt-in cloud provider, the question, relevant schema portion, and generated SQL context are sent to that provider; database passwords and query result rows are excluded.
Credential security: Database passwords and cloud API keys are Fernet-encrypted at rest, redacted from logs, and masked in API responses.
Deployment requirements: The recommended Docker setup requires Docker 20.10+ with Compose v2 and about 10 GB of free disk space; the first run downloads an approximately 5 GB model.
License: The repository lists the project under the GPL-3.0 license.
Local AI: Ollama runs locally by default, and the project says questions, database schema, and generated SQL stay on the user's machine with this provider.
