Who Uses SQL Agent CLI?
SQL Agent CLI is an AI SQL assistant that converts natural language into SQL queries. Whether you're exploring data, debugging code, or managing production databases — SQL Agent fits your workflow.
Used by data analysts, software developers, and database administrators to write SQL queries faster, explore schemas instantly, and work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite from a single CLI tool.
Generate SQL Queries from Plain English
Tired of wrestling with complex SQL syntax? SQL Agent CLI acts as your personal SQL query generator — just describe what you need in natural language, and get executable SQL queries instantly. No more searching for SQL examples or trying to remember JOIN syntax.
Connect to any database you work with — PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite — and start exploring. Use the schema command to understand unfamiliar databases, then ask questions like "show me top 10 customers by revenue last quarter" and get results immediately.
- Create SQL queries using natural language — no syntax memorization needed
- Explore unfamiliar database schemas with the built-in schema inspector
- Get formatted results directly in your terminal — ready for analysis
$ sql_agent connect --url "postgresql://analytics:***@host/sales"
Connected to sales database (42 tables)
> show me total revenue by product category for Q4 2025
Generating SQL...
SELECT category, SUM(amount) AS total_revenue
FROM orders JOIN products USING(product_id)
WHERE order_date BETWEEN '2025-10-01' AND '2025-12-31'
GROUP BY category ORDER BY total_revenue DESC;
┌──────────────┬───────────────┐
│ category │ total_revenue │
├──────────────┼───────────────┤
│ Electronics │ $1,245,890 │
│ Clothing │ $892,340 │
│ Home & Garden│ $654,120 │
└──────────────┴───────────────┘
$ sql_agent profiles
Saved profiles:
local-dev PostgreSQL (localhost)
staging PostgreSQL (staging-db)
test-sqlite SQLite (test.db)
$ sql_agent use-profile staging
Connected to staging database (67 tables)
> find all users created today who haven't verified their email
SELECT id, email, created_at FROM users
WHERE created_at >= CURRENT_DATE
AND email_verified = false ORDER BY created_at DESC;
3 rows returned
> history

Write SQL Code and Debug Queries Faster
Stop context-switching between your IDE and a database client. SQL Agent CLI is a database CLI tool that lives in your terminal — right where you already work. Execute SQL queries, explore table structures, and debug data issues without leaving the command line.
Save database connection profiles for local, staging, and test environments. Switch between them instantly. Query history keeps track of every SQL command you run, so you can reuse and refine queries across sessions.
- Connection profiles — switch between databases with a single SQL command
- Query history — recall and reuse previous SQL commands across sessions
- Multi-database support — PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite from one tool
Safe Database Management with SQL Validation
Running routine checks on production databases requires caution. SQL Agent CLI enforces read-only mode by default and validates every SQL query before execution — blocking dangerous operations like DROP, TRUNCATE, and DELETE. Manage SQL tables and functions safely.
Built-in query timeout protection, encrypted credential storage, and device activation tracking give you full control over database access. Use SQL Agent CLI for audit queries, health checks, and schema inspections across your SQL management workflow.
- Read-only mode and query validation — safe for production databases
- Encrypted credentials and 30-second query timeout for database security
- Device activation tracking — control who accesses your databases
$ sql_agent connect --url "postgresql://readonly:***@prod/main"
Connected in READ-ONLY mode (128 tables)
> show tables with more than 1 million rows
SELECT schemaname, relname, n_live_tup
FROM pg_stat_user_tables
WHERE n_live_tup > 1000000
ORDER BY n_live_tup DESC;
┌────────────┬──────────────┬─────────────┐
│ schema │ table │ live_rows │
├────────────┼──────────────┼─────────────┤
│ public │ events │ 12,450,332 │
│ public │ audit_log │ 8,231,019 │
│ public │ sessions │ 3,102,445 │
└────────────┴──────────────┴─────────────┘
> DROP TABLE events
Blocked: DROP operations are not allowed in read-only mode
