Could you build this?
Partial Writing raw SQL with type safety in TypeScript requires deep TypeScript compiler API integration or a custom language server plugin to parse SQL strings and infer TypeScript schema types at compile time.
What it would actually take: A complete implementation requires building a TypeScript language service plugin or compiler transformer (using the `typescript` AST APIs) alongside an embedded SQL parser (like `libpg_query` or SQLglot ported to WASM). The system must extract query string literals, parse table schemas and expressions, and synthesize strict TypeScript type definitions for inputs and return tuples without code-generation build steps. This requires specialized knowledge of compiler internals, type system mechanics, and database dialect ASTs.
