Database migrations often break or slow down existing queries due to system differences.

Create a service that analyzes existing SQL queries and generates optimized versions for the target database system, preserving functionality while improving performance.

Engineering teams undertaking migrations would pay to reduce rewriting effort and performance regressions.

The MVP could handle basic SELECT queries between common database pairs.

The risk is the complexity of handling all SQL dialects and edge cases.
