## What it is
SQL Chat is a chat-based SQL client and editor that lets users query, modify, add, and delete data using natural language, powered by OpenAI. It is a Next.js web application supporting MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, TiDB Cloud, and OceanBase, deployable on Vercel or self-hosted via Docker.

## Use cases
- query a database using natural language
- chat-based sql client for mysql and postgres
- self-host an ai sql editor with my openai key
- write sql queries without knowing sql syntax
- browse and edit database data through a chat interface
- deploy a text-to-sql web app on vercel

## When to choose
- you want natural-language querying across MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, or TiDB
- you prefer a chat interface over traditional SQL client UIs
- you need a self-hostable AI SQL client with Docker

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured traditional SQL IDE with schema tooling
- you cannot send schema or query context to an external LLM API
- you require strict IP whitelisting and prefer not to self-host
