Could you build this?

Partial A web-based SQL runner UI is simple, but achieving true zero-trust enterprise security with protocol-level credential vaulting, proxying, and ephemeral access requires deep database security infrastructure.

What it would actually take: Needs a wire-level database proxy (supporting Postgres, MySQL, TDS protocols) that intercepts connection requests, enforces role-based access control, injects ephemeral credentials from a KMS/Vault, and logs audited queries without storing plain secrets. Requires deep knowledge of relational wire protocols, cryptographic key management, and robust proxy connection pooling.
