If you use PostgreSQL, http://postgrest.org is a free option.
However, you can't execute arbitrary SQL so easily, see
http://postgrest.org/en/v6.0/api.html#custom-queries

In SlashDB you also need to define the SQL queries first, so maybe 
that's also not flexible enough.

Actually it looks like you want GraphQL, not REST.
Again, if you use PostgreSQL, have a look at
https://www.graphile.org/postgraphile/
