Text to sql features

[iamkallolpratim]

Overview:
We would like to propose the implementation of a Text to SQL feature that leverages OpenAI's natural language processing capabilities. This feature aims to simplify the process of querying databases for users who may not have a strong background in SQL. Additionally, we suggest providing an option for users to input their own API key for OpenAI integration, ensuring data privacy and control.

Feature Details:

Natural Language Querying: Enable users to input their queries in plain English or natural language, eliminating the need to write complex SQL statements. OpenAI's advanced language model will interpret the user's intent and generate corresponding SQL queries.
OpenAI Integration: Integrate OpenAI's powerful natural language processing capabilities to accurately understand and convert user queries into SQL commands. This integration will ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the generated SQL queries.
Custom API Key: Implement an option for users to provide their own API key for OpenAI integration. This customization feature will address privacy concerns and give users control over their data.
Benefits:

Improved Usability: Users without SQL expertise can seamlessly interact with databases, reducing the learning curve and empowering more individuals to access and analyze data.
Increased Productivity: By eliminating the need for manual SQL query writing, users can save time and focus on deriving insights and making data-driven decisions.
Enhanced Collaboration: Non-technical team members, such as product managers, can directly query databases and obtain relevant information, fostering cross-functional collaboration and reducing dependencies on technical resources.
Expanded User Base: The inclusion of a user-friendly Text to SQL feature may attract new users who previously felt intimidated by SQL, thereby broadening our customer base and potentially increasing product adoption.
Additional Information:
We believe that implementing the Text to SQL feature with OpenAI integration and a customizable API key option will significantly enhance our product's usability and appeal to a wider audience. This feature aligns with the growing demand for simplified data access and analysis tools, particularly for individuals with limited SQL knowledge.

That's an interesting idea.

Have you tried prototyping it, to see if OpenAI can routinely generate the appropriate SQL for a given query?

I have done it with OpenAI, LangChain and the Northwind db. I can share a Jupyter notebook if you want.

@iamkallolpratim I couldn't upload the file here so here is a link to it.

@Avr-Arnold Cool. For that new repository, you should probably add a README file to explain what it is, and instructions on how to use it.

For bonus points (:smile:), also some examples of it being used so people who are curious about it will then try it out.

@iamkallolpratim @justinclift I would love to help out and build on what I have done already. Lmk if you plan on taking this further.
