This is a well known concept sometimes called a SQL editor. There's definitely a need for a great implementation of the concept though. There was a really good one called Wagon years ago that of course got bricked after the team was acquired and I still haven't liked any that I have tried since.

The emphasis on editing production here is a bit odd since there is a lot of value that can be delivered read-only to analysts or to editing development for developers. I have a war story about editing production with one of these tools. Someone used such an editor to edit a MongoDB database value. The ORM schema said it was a float, but it was entered as an int. This somehow broke production for a lot of users.
