For application engineers
Ship the schema the same week you ship the code
Write the change in the SQL editor or let GitOps open the pull request. Risk Assessment can index repositories and show which code touches the objects you are changing. You still need an approval on production. You should not need a shared DBA password to read a row in staging.

Faster is not unrestricted
NL SQL is OpenAI-only
Natural-language SQL generation uses OpenAI. It is not a generic multi-vendor LLM switch in the product today. See AI and MCP.
ORM migrations stay in the app
Migratrix does not replace EF Core or Flyway model migrations. It can review and promote the SQL those tools emit.
MCP will not silently approve
Assistant tools that mutate require confirm: true. Compare, Conversion Studio, and Drift Monitor are not MCP tools yet.
Production is read-first
Environment roles. Writes go through change scripts. That is the point.
