Usage Instructions

Basic Query Generation

When generating SQL queries, follow these steps:

  • Understand the Request
  • Parse natural language input
  • Identify required tables
  • Determine join conditions
  • Extract filter criteria
  • Generate Base Query
sql
-- Example structure
   SELECT 
       column1,
       column2,
       aggregate_function(column3) AS alias
   FROM 
       table1
   JOIN 
       table2 ON table1.id = table2.foreign_id
   WHERE 
       condition1 = value1
       AND condition2 > value2
   GROUP BY 
       column1, column2
   HAVING 
       aggregate_condition
   ORDER BY 
       column1 DESC
   LIMIT 100;
  • Apply Security Measures
  • Use parameterized queries
  • Validate all inputs
  • Escape special characters

Query Patterns

#### Pattern 1: Simple SELECT

sql
-- Natural language: "Get all users who registered after January 1, 2024"
SELECT 
    id,
    username,
    email,
    registration_date
FROM 
    users
WHERE 
    registration_date > $1  -- Parameterized
ORDER BY 
    registration_date DESC;

#### Pattern 2: JOIN with Aggregation

sql
-- Natural language: "Show total orders by customer in 2024"
SELECT 
    c.customer_name,
    c.email,
    COUNT(o.order_id) AS total_orders,
    SUM(o.total_amount) AS total_spent
FROM 
    customers c
INNER JOIN 
    orders o ON c.customer_id = o.customer_id
WHERE 
    EXTRACT(YEAR FROM o.order_date) = $1
GROUP BY 
    c.customer_id,
    c.customer_name,
    c.email
HAVING 
    COUNT(o.order_id) > 5
ORDER BY 
    total_spent DESC;

#### Pattern 3: Subquery

sql
-- Natural language: "Find products with above-average prices"
SELECT 
    product_name,
    price,
    category
FROM 
    products
WHERE 
    price > (
        SELECT AVG(price)
        FROM products
    )
ORDER BY 
    price DESC;

#### Pattern 4: CTE (Common Table Expression)

sql
-- Natural language: "Get top 3 products per category by sales"
WITH product_sales AS (
    SELECT 
        p.product_id,
        p.product_name,
        p.category_id,
        c.category_name,
        SUM(oi.quantity * oi.unit_price) AS total_sales,
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
            PARTITION BY p.category_id 
            ORDER BY SUM(oi.quantity * oi.unit_price) DESC
        ) AS rank_in_category
    FROM 
        products p
    JOIN 
        order_items oi ON p.product_id = oi.product_id
    JOIN 
        categories c ON p.category_id = c.category_id
    GROUP BY 
        p.product_id,
        p.product_name,
        p.category_id,
        c.category_name
)
SELECT 
    category_name,
    product_name,
    total_sales,
    rank_in_category
FROM 
    product_sales
WHERE 
    rank_in_category <= 3
ORDER BY 
    category_name,
    rank_in_category;

#### Pattern 5: Window Functions

sql
-- Natural language: "Show running total of sales per day"
SELECT 
    sale_date,
    daily_total,
    SUM(daily_total) OVER (
        ORDER BY sale_date 
        ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW
    ) AS running_total,
    AVG(daily_total) OVER (
        ORDER BY sale_date 
        ROWS BETWEEN 6 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW
    ) AS moving_average_7days
FROM (
    SELECT 
        DATE(order_date) AS sale_date,
        SUM(total_amount) AS daily_total
    FROM 
        orders
    GROUP BY 
        DATE(order_date)
) daily_sales
ORDER BY 
    sale_date;

Best Practices

1. Query Structure

  • Always use explicit column names (avoid SELECT *)
  • Use meaningful table aliases
  • Indent for readability
  • Comment complex logic

2. Performance

  • Create appropriate indexes
  • Avoid SELECT DISTINCT when possible (use GROUP BY instead)
  • Use EXISTS instead of IN for large datasets
  • Limit result sets when appropriate
  • Use EXPLAIN to analyze query plans

3. Security (CRITICAL)

#### 3.1 MANDATORY Security Rules THESE RULES ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE AND MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED:

  • NEVER CONCATENATE USER INPUT INTO SQL
python
# WRONG - CRITICAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY
   query = f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '{user_input}'"
   
   # CORRECT - Always use parameters
   query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = %s"
   cursor.execute(query, (user_input,))
  • ALL VALUES MUST BE PARAMETERIZED
  • Even seemingly "safe" values like numbers
  • Even values from "trusted" sources
  • Even internal application values
  • NO EXCEPTIONS
  • VALIDATE AND SANITIZE ALL INPUTS
python
# Whitelist validation
   VALID_STATUSES = ['active', 'inactive', 'pending']
   if status not in VALID_STATUSES:
       raise ValueError("Invalid status")
   
   # Type validation
   if not isinstance(user_id, int):
       raise TypeError("user_id must be integer")
   
   # Length validation
   if len(username) > 50:
       raise ValueError("username too long")
  • ESCAPE DYNAMIC IDENTIFIERS PROPERLY
python
from psycopg2 import sql
   
   # For table/column names that must be dynamic
   query = sql.SQL("SELECT * FROM {} WHERE id = %s").format(
       sql.Identifier(table_name)
   )
   cursor.execute(query, (user_id,))

#### 3.2 Input Validation Framework

python
import re
from typing import Any, List, Optional

class SQLInputValidator:
    """Comprehensive input validation for SQL queries"""
    
    @staticmethod
    def validate_identifier(identifier: str, max_length: int = 63) -> str:

            raise ValueError(f"Identifier too long: {len(identifier)} > {max_length}")
        
        # Only alphanumeric and underscore
        if not re.match(r'^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$', identifier):
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid identifier: {identifier}")
        
        # Prevent SQL keywords as identifiers
        SQL_KEYWORDS = {
            'SELECT', 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE', 'DROP', 'CREATE',
            'ALTER', 'TRUNCATE', 'UNION', 'JOIN', 'WHERE', 'FROM'
        }
        if identifier.upper() in SQL_KEYWORDS:
            raise ValueError(f"SQL keyword not allowed: {identifier}")
        
        return identifier
    
    @staticmethod

        try:
            int_value = int(value)
        except (ValueError, TypeError):
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid integer: {value}")
        
        if min_val is not None and int_value < min_val:
            raise ValueError(f"Value {int_value} below minimum {min_val}")
        
        if max_val is not None and int_value > max_val:

    @staticmethod
    def validate_string(value: str, max_length: int = 255, 
                       allow_empty: bool = False) -> str:

    @staticmethod
    def validate_email(email: str) -> str:
        """Validate email format"""
        email = SQLInputValidator.validate_string(email, max_length=254)
        
        # Basic email validation
        if not re.match(r'^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$', email):
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid email format: {email}")
        
        return email
    
    @staticmethod
    def validate_date(date_str: str) -> str:
        """Validate date format (YYYY-MM-DD)"""
        if not re.match(r'^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$', date_str):
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid date format: {date_str}")
        
        return date_str
    
    @staticmethod
    def validate_enum(value: str, allowed_values: List[str]) -> str:
        """Validate value against whitelist"""
        if value not in allowed_values:
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid value: {value}. Allowed: {allowed_values}")
        
        return value

#### 3.3 SQL Injection Attack Patterns to Prevent

python
# Detect common SQL injection patterns
INJECTION_PATTERNS = [
    r"('|(\\')|(--)|(\#)|(%23)|(;))",  # Basic SQL injection
    r"((\%27)|(\'))",                   # Single quote variations
    r"(union.*select)",                 # UNION-based injection
    r"(insert.*into)",                  # INSERT injection
    r"(update.*set)",                   # UPDATE injection
    r"(delete.*from)",                  # DELETE injection
    r"(drop.*table)",                   # DROP TABLE
    r"(exec(\s|\+)+(s|x)p\w+)",        # Stored procedure execution
    r"(script.*>)",                     # XSS attempts
]

def detect_injection_attempt(value: str) -> bool:

    value_lower = value.lower()
    for pattern in INJECTION_PATTERNS:
        if re.search(pattern, value_lower):
            return True
    return False

        param_list = ', '.join(['%s'] * len(params))
        cursor.execute(f"EXECUTE {stmt_name}({param_list})", params)
        return cursor

4. Parameterization Examples

PostgreSQL/Python (psycopg2)

python
# CORRECT - Parameterized
cursor.execute(
    "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = %s AND status = %s",
    (user_email, status)
)

# WRONG - String concatenation (SQL injection risk)
cursor.execute(
    f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '{user_email}'"
)

MySQL/Python (mysql-connector)

python
# CORRECT
cursor.execute(
    "SELECT * FROM products WHERE price > %s",
    (min_price,)
)

SQLite/Python

python
# CORRECT
cursor.execute(
    "SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_date > ?",
    (start_date,)
)

Node.js (PostgreSQL)

javascript
// CORRECT
const result = await client.query(
    'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1',
    [userId]
);

5. Database-Specific Syntax

PostgreSQL

  • Use $1, $2, $3 for parameters
  • Supports advanced features: JSONB, arrays, full-text search
  • Use RETURNING clause for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
  • Case-sensitive text search with ILIKE
MySQL
  • Use ? for parameters
  • LIMIT syntax: LIMIT offset, count
  • Use backticks for identifiers with spaces
  • Date functions: DATE_FORMAT, CURDATE()
SQL Server
  • Use @param1, @param2 for parameters
  • TOP instead of LIMIT
  • Use square brackets for identifiers
  • Date functions: GETDATE(), DATEADD()
SQLite
  • Use ? for parameters
  • Limited ALTER TABLE support
  • No RIGHT JOIN or FULL OUTER JOIN
  • Date functions as strings

Error Handling

When generating queries, include error handling recommendations:

python
import psycopg2
from psycopg2 import sql

try:
    cursor.execute(
        sql.SQL("SELECT * FROM {} WHERE id = %s").format(
            sql.Identifier('users')
        ),
        (user_id,)
    )
    results = cursor.fetchall()
except psycopg2.Error as e:
    print(f"Database error: {e}")
    # Log error, return appropriate response
finally:
    cursor.close()

Query Validation Checklist

Before providing a query, verify:

  • [ ] All table and column names are valid
  • [ ] JOIN conditions are correct
  • [ ] WHERE clause logic is accurate
  • [ ] Parameters are used (not string concatenation)
  • [ ] Appropriate indexes exist or are recommended
  • [ ] Query is optimized for the expected dataset size
  • [ ] Results will be properly limited if needed
  • [ ] Error handling is included in implementation code

Response Format

When responding to a query request, provide:

  • The SQL Query (properly formatted and commented)
  • Explanation of what the query does
  • Parameters that need to be passed
  • Expected Result structure
  • Performance Notes (if applicable)
  • Security Warnings (if applicable)
  • Implementation Example in the requested language

Example Response Structure

markdown
### SQL Query
sql -- Get active users with their order counts SELECT u.user_id, u.username, u.email, COUNT(o.order_id) AS order_count, COALESCE(SUM(o.total_amount), 0) AS lifetime_value FROM users u LEFT JOIN orders o ON u.user_id = o.user_id WHERE u.status = $1 AND u.created_at >= $2 GROUP BY u.user_id, u.username, u.email HAVING COUNT(o.order_id) >= $3 ORDER BY lifetime_value DESC LIMIT $4;
text
### Parameters
- `$1`: status (string, e.g., 'active')
- `$2`: created_at (date, e.g., '2024-01-01')
- `$3`: min_orders (integer, e.g., 5)
- `$4`: limit (integer, e.g., 100)

### Explanation
This query retrieves active users who joined after a specified date and have placed a minimum number of orders. It calculates their total order count and lifetime value, sorted by highest spending customers first.

### Expected Result
| user_id | username | email | order_count | lifetime_value |
|---------|----------|-------|-------------|----------------|
| 123 | john_doe | [email protected] | 15 | 2500.00 |

### Performance Notes
- Ensure index on `users.status` and `users.created_at`
- Ensure index on `orders.user_id`
- For large datasets, consider pagination

### Implementation Example (Python/psycopg2)
python cursor.execute(query, ('active', '2024-01-01', 5, 100)) results = cursor.fetchall()
text

Advanced Topics

1. Query Optimization Techniques

  • Use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to understand query plans
  • Create covering indexes
  • Partition large tables
  • Use materialized views for complex aggregations
  • Implement query result caching

2. Complex Scenarios

  • Recursive CTEs for hierarchical data
  • Pivot/Unpivot operations
  • Full-text search
  • Geospatial queries
  • Time-series analysis

3. Migration Support

  • Generate queries for data migration
  • Schema comparison queries
  • Data validation queries
  • Backup and restore scripts

Testing Recommendations

Always suggest testing generated queries with:

  • Small dataset first
  • EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN ANALYZE
  • Various edge cases (NULL values, empty sets)
  • Performance benchmarks
  • Security scanning tools

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

  • N+1 Query Problem: Use JOINs instead of multiple queries
  • SELECT *: Specify needed columns explicitly
  • Missing Indexes: Recommend indexes on filter/join columns
  • Cartesian Products: Ensure proper JOIN conditions
  • Implicit Type Conversions: Cast explicitly when needed
  • Timezone Issues: Always use timezone-aware timestamps

Integration Examples

REST API

python
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import psycopg2

@app.route('/api/users', methods=['GET'])
def get_users():
    status = request.args.get('status', 'active')
    
    # Validate input
    if status not in ['active', 'inactive', 'suspended']:
        return jsonify({'error': 'Invalid status'}), 400
    
    try:
        cursor.execute(
            "SELECT id, username, email FROM users WHERE status = %s",
            (status,)
        )
        users = cursor.fetchall()
        return jsonify(users)
    except Exception as e:
        return jsonify({'error': str(e)}), 500

GraphQL Resolver

javascript
const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    users: async (_, { status, limit }, { db }) => {
      const result = await db.query(
        'SELECT * FROM users WHERE status = $1 LIMIT $2',
        [status, limit]
      );
      return result.rows;
    }
  }
};

## Usage Instructions

### Basic Query Generation

When generating SQL queries, follow these steps:

1. **Understand the Request**
   - Parse natural language input
   - Identify required tables
   - Determine join conditions
   - Extract filter criteria

2. **Generate Base Query**

#### Pattern 1: Simple SELECT

-pattern-1-simple-select.sql
-- Natural language: "Get all users who registered after January 1, 2024"
SELECT 
    id,
    username,
    email,
    registration_date
FROM 
    users
WHERE 
    registration_date > $1  -- Parameterized
ORDER BY 
    registration_date DESC;

#### Pattern 2: JOIN with Aggregation

-pattern-2-join-with-aggregation.sql
-- Natural language: "Show total orders by customer in 2024"
SELECT 
    c.customer_name,
    c.email,
    COUNT(o.order_id) AS total_orders,
    SUM(o.total_amount) AS total_spent
FROM 
    customers c
INNER JOIN 
    orders o ON c.customer_id = o.customer_id
WHERE 
    EXTRACT(YEAR FROM o.order_date) = $1
GROUP BY 
    c.customer_id,
    c.customer_name,
    c.email
HAVING 
    COUNT(o.order_id) > 5
ORDER BY 
    total_spent DESC;

#### Pattern 3: Subquery

-pattern-3-subquery.sql
-- Natural language: "Find products with above-average prices"
SELECT 
    product_name,
    price,
    category
FROM 
    products
WHERE 
    price > (
        SELECT AVG(price)
        FROM products
    )
ORDER BY 
    price DESC;

#### Pattern 4: CTE (Common Table Expression)

-pattern-4-cte-common-table-expression.sql
-- Natural language: "Get top 3 products per category by sales"
WITH product_sales AS (
    SELECT 
        p.product_id,
        p.product_name,
        p.category_id,
        c.category_name,
        SUM(oi.quantity * oi.unit_price) AS total_sales,
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
            PARTITION BY p.category_id 
            ORDER BY SUM(oi.quantity * oi.unit_price) DESC
        ) AS rank_in_category
    FROM 
        products p
    JOIN 
        order_items oi ON p.product_id = oi.product_id
    JOIN 
        categories c ON p.category_id = c.category_id
    GROUP BY 
        p.product_id,
        p.product_name,
        p.category_id,
        c.category_name
)
SELECT 
    category_name,
    product_name,
    total_sales,
    rank_in_category
FROM 
    product_sales
WHERE 
    rank_in_category <= 3
ORDER BY 
    category_name,
    rank_in_category;

#### Pattern 5: Window Functions

-pattern-5-window-functions.sql
-- Natural language: "Show running total of sales per day"
SELECT 
    sale_date,
    daily_total,
    SUM(daily_total) OVER (
        ORDER BY sale_date 
        ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW
    ) AS running_total,
    AVG(daily_total) OVER (
        ORDER BY sale_date 
        ROWS BETWEEN 6 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW
    ) AS moving_average_7days
FROM (
    SELECT 
        DATE(order_date) AS sale_date,
        SUM(total_amount) AS daily_total
    FROM 
        orders
    GROUP BY 
        DATE(order_date)
) daily_sales
ORDER BY 
    sale_date;
