SQL Semantic Validation for LLM-Generated Queries

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Parser-based SQL validation is not enough for LLM-generated queries.
Production Text-to-SQL needs semantic checks like table existence, column resolution, scope, and type compatibility.
Catalog binding, name resolution, and permission checks help catch queries that look valid but would fail or violate policy.
These checks reduce execution errors and access issues before SQL is run.
