GRID: Grammar-Railed Decoding for Enterprise SQL Generation

Large language models can write SQL, but enterprise deployment demands more than plausible text: outputs must be syntactically valid, must respect per-role and per-schema policy, must carry provable (not best-effort) guarantees, must not slow down as generations grow, and must leave a compliance-grade record of every decision. We present GRID (Grammar-Railed Decoding), a grammar-constrained decoding engine that keys exact next-token masks on parser configurations (lexer scan state x LALR(1) stack) rather than on token sequences, and uses the incrementally advanced LALR(1) parser itself as a viable-prefix oracle. LLM tokens are bridged to grammar terminals by a byte-level trie walk with a ...
