We initate a SQLDatabaseChain
from langchain import SQLDatabase, SQLDatabaseChain
## This works with SQLite as well, but building the DB is slightly different
# db = SQLDatabase.from_uri("sqlite:////mount//gitlab//langchain-experimentation//chinook.sqlite")
db = SQLDatabase.from_uri('postgresql://tmp:123123@localhost:5432/postgres')
db_chain = SQLDatabaseChain(llm=llm, database=db, verbose=True, return_intermediate_steps=True)This is the default prompt -- the {table_info} section produces the complete schema as well as 3 rows from each table. This exceeds the maximum context length for almost all LLMs for even a modest database, so we use the shorter template below that only lists table names. I reproduce it here to show that there is nothing up my sleeve.
print(db_chain.prompt)Given an input question, first create a syntactically correct {dialect} query to run, then look at the results of the query and return the answer. Unless the user specifies in his question a specific number of examples he wishes to obtain, always limit your query to at most {top_k} results. You can order the results by a relevant column to return the most interesting examples in the database.
Never query for all the columns from a specific table, only ask for a the few relevant columns given the question.
Pay attention to use only the column names that you can see in the schema description. Be careful to not query for columns that do not exist. Also, pay attention to which column is in which table.
Use the following format:
Question: "Question here"
SQLQuery: "SQL Query to run"
SQLResult: "Result of the SQLQuery"
Answer: "Final answer here"
Only use the tables listed below.
{table_info}
Question: {input}

db_chain = SQLDatabaseChain(llm=llm, database=db, prompt=PROMPT, verbose=True)db_chain("How many employees are there?")�[1m> Entering new SQLDatabaseChain chain...�[0m
How many employees are there?

{'query': 'How many employees are there?', 'result': ' There are 8 employees.'}

How many albums are there?

�[1m> Finished chain.�[0m
{'query': 'How many albums are there?', 'result': ' There are 347 albums.'}
We obtain the correct results for the 'standard' queries.
Now if we ask nicely, we can execute any other SQL we'd like, and the restriction on tables is not activated.

I haven't configured the DB to be intentionally vulnerable so the following fails. But I can still execute it.

langchainversions since 0.0.247 onward are not vulnerable in this way.The full details of our fix are here but TL;DR:
langchainentirely.langchain-experimental, which is a package intended for prototyping new ideas before all the edge cases are resolved or any APIs are stabilized. There, we're adding prominent security warnings reminding users to limit the database permissions they grant the credentials used with the chain: langchain-ai/langchain#9867
