Just a question.

A user with access to the SQL Editor would be able to perform a query to alter data?

Nope, SQL queries are read-only

Not at this time. We've occasionally talked about the idea of having the ability to write back into DBs, but at this point in time we're focusing on being read-only.

This might be counter-productive. For e.g. you may be working on a database, experimenting with fks and stuff, but you really might not want to write that into the DB. And if you do write to the DB by accident and it is on your production server, you will be in a bad place. I feel its better to keep it this way in order to avoid accidents (GitLab and stuff). My 2 cents

Thats the way it should be!

Thanks.
