Hybrid approach of combining bulletproof APIs with NL2SQL is the winning strategy for effective database interaction.AI alone cannot replace strong backend architecture, emphasizing the need for a Hybrid Approach.Hybrid architecture blueprint consists of Frontend, Backend with traditional APIs, and an AI-assisted NL2SQL layer.Backend responsibilities include schema serving, safe query execution, connection pooling, and error handling.AI/NL2SQL responsibilities involve translating user intent into SQL, suggesting queries, and exploring data flexibly.Smart prompt engineering example demonstrates efficient SQL query generation using NL2SQL.Combining solid backend with flexible, user-friendly AI layers leads to successful production systems.Hybrid approach saves from catastrophes by using traditional APIs for data filtering and sending smart prompts to AI.AI-driven systems should feed knowledge to AI, not raw data, to ensure smart answers over crashes.DBConvert Streams offers tools for hybrid approach implementation, with NL2SQL coming soon in the next release.
