I don't undersstand what you are triying to do. Replace SQL with your own language/API?

Yes, this is exactly what I was planning. But it does sound like I am reinventing the wheel.
Other piople has reinvented the wheel before, so there is a chance, but you must find why your method is much better.

Perhaps you can ensure that everything is escaped correctly and programers don't have to worry about Bobby Tables https://xkcd.com/327/

(I once saved everything as a text file, because the number of entries was small and I was not sure about escaping correctly.)

(I remember one webpage that says "please dont use these characters in the name ..." The list looks too similar to the special chars in SQL ...)

This does makes sense. I will think more about this idea. if it indeed makes sense.
