> I'm currently looking for a solution to provide (non-technical) team members with a way to interact with a SQL database ... While I'm generally willing to pay, I'd really prefer an open and self-hosted solution.

You should definitively check Metabase [0] then: it's open source, very easy to self-host, and democratize data access inside your team. We started using it for the same reason 3 years ago, I cannot recommend it more.

Metabase is great for querying and visualising your data but won’t help you collect input like Google Forms, which sounds like what the OP is after.
Thanks for pointing Metabase out. Unfortunately, while great for analytics, I'm really more focused on data input.
yeah, you are totally right, I somehow skipped the CRUD-form requirement.
CRUD is basic to low-code / no-code solutions. It is almost the point of their existence. Because for more complex / custom stuff, coded solutions anyway exist and are more powerful and flexible, though at cost of more time and money.
