How to check whether AI-generated SQL is correct
Successful execution proves that a query runs, not that it answers your question. Validate the metric, filters and aggregation against a known result.
- Read the selected columns and confirm the intended metric.
- Check date boundaries, time zones, missing values and returned orders.
- Check that joins do not multiply records and that grouping matches the question.
- Recalculate a small sample manually and compare it with the returned table.
Can AI SQL be guaranteed correct?
No. Treat generated SQL as a draft to inspect and test. Ask a qualified reviewer to check consequential calculations.
Save the question, query and data version together so another reviewer can reproduce the result.
