Smells like an XY problem. What they want isn't "SQL on the front end", it's an abstract machine that both the frontend and programmatic server-side systems interact with, and that abstract machine brokers the flow between these clients and the backend. Let that machine handle permissions, caching, etc, since that's hard, tedious, error prone, and less secure for humans to do. Just like how we stopped writing assembly. I have to look into it, but some posters mention blitz.js, this may be just such a thing.
