Could you build this?

No An inline database gateway requires reverse-engineering and parsing complex wire protocols (PostgreSQL, Oracle, TDS, MySQL) in real time with near-zero latency, dynamic AST query analysis, and data masking.

What it would actually take: The system must be built as a high-performance network proxy in Rust, C++, or Go that intercepts and decodes wire-level protocols across Postgres, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and Mongo. It requires dedicated SQL lexers and AST parsers to detect dangerous queries, dynamically mask returned tabular results before serialization, and enforce role-based rules without adding noticeable query latency. This requires deep systems programming, database internals, and network security expertise.
