You can now create and query parameterized secure views in Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL.PSV let you use PostgreSQL views with more granular access control over your data. It might help to prevent prompt injection.

Do you want to know more and maybe test and try AlloyDB NL2SQL? I've written a short blog and a codelab about the feature. It makes the SQL generation predictable and stable using your data structures metadata, context and query templates.

Do you know what is amazing about AlloyDB NL2SQL feature? It understands all languages out of box. It gets the question and then returns the answer in the most universal way - in SQL . We have a codelab to try it out - have a look. bit.ly/3VeoS96

I am testing Gemini 3 with AlloyDB extension in Gemini CLI and it works. It knows how to connect, knows how to check your databases etc. I think the new model is a very significant step forward in quality for agentic work.
The ultimate unlock... Gemini 3 + Gemini CLI has arrived 🚀🚀🚀
Now to avoid melting too many TPUs we're going to be iteratively rolling out the support (it's quite epic). See blog post for more details: developers.googleblog.com/en/5-things-...
