๐Ÿ”ฎ SQL Natural Language Interface

PythonFastAPILicensePRs WelcomeGitHub stars

Transform natural language questions into SQL queries with the power of AI! ๐Ÿš€

๐ŸŒŸ What is SQL Natural Language Interface?

SQL Natural Language Interface is a revolutionary tool that bridges the gap between human language and database queries. Simply ask questions in plain English, and watch as our AI-powered system generates precise SQL queries and delivers beautiful, actionable results.

๐ŸŽฏ Why This Matters

  • Democratize Data Access: No SQL knowledge required - anyone can query databases
  • Boost Productivity: Get insights in seconds, not hours
  • Reduce Errors: AI-generated queries minimize human mistakes
  • Universal Compatibility: Works with PostgreSQL and MySQL databases

โœจ Key Features

๐Ÿง  AI-Powered Query Generation

  • Dual AI Support: Choose between OpenAI GPT-4 or Google Gemini
  • Context-Aware: Understands your database schema for accurate queries
  • Natural Language: Ask questions like "Show me customers who bought products last month"

๐Ÿ”’ Security First

  • Read-Only Queries: Only SELECT statements allowed - your data stays safe
  • SQL Injection Protection: Advanced validation prevents malicious queries
  • Input Sanitization: Multiple layers of security checks

๐Ÿ“Š Rich Data Visualization

  • Interactive Web Interface: Beautiful, responsive React-based UI
  • Real-Time Results: Instant query execution and results display
  • Export Capabilities: Download results as CSV files
  • Smart Summaries: AI-generated natural language summaries of your data

๐Ÿ”ง Developer Friendly

  • RESTful API: Easy integration with existing applications
  • Comprehensive Logging: Full audit trail of all operations
  • Error Handling: Graceful error management with detailed feedback
  • Database Agnostic: Seamless switching between PostgreSQL and MySQL

๐Ÿš€ Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8 or higher
  • PostgreSQL or MySQL database
  • OpenAI API key or Google Gemini API key

Installation

  1. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/sql-nlp-interface.git cd sql-nlp-interface
  2. Install dependencies

    pip install -r requirements.txt
  3. Configure environment variables Create a .env file in the project root:

    # API KeysOPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_hereGEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here# Database ConfigurationDATABASE_URL=postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/database_nameDATABASE_TYPE=postgresql# or mysqlMYSQLDB_URL=mysql+pymysql://username:password@localhost:3306/database_name# AI Model ProviderMODEL_PROVIDER=openai# or gemini
  4. Launch the application

    uvicorn main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
  5. Open your browser Navigate to http://localhost:8000 and start querying!


๐Ÿ’ก Usage Examples

Basic Query

Natural Language: "Show me all customers from New York" Generated SQL: SELECT * FROM customers WHERE city = 'New York'; 

Complex Analytics

Natural Language: "What are the top 5 products by sales in the last quarter?" Generated SQL: SELECT product_name, SUM(quantity * price) as total_sales FROM orders o JOIN order_items oi ON o.id = oi.order_id JOIN products p ON oi.product_id = p.id WHERE o.created_at >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 3 MONTH) GROUP BY product_name ORDER BY total_sales DESC LIMIT 5; 

API Usage

importrequestsresponse=requests.post('http://localhost:8000/generate-query', json={'user_query': 'Show me monthly revenue trends', 'db_schema': 'your_schema_here' }) data=response.json() print(f"SQL Query: {data['sql_query']}") print(f"Results: {data['results']}")

  • Read-Only Access: Only SELECT queries are allowed
  • API Key Security: Secure handling of API credentials
  • CORS Configuration: Configurable cross-origin policies

๐Ÿ†˜ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Connection Errors

# Check database connectivity python -c "from db_NLP import engine; print(engine.connect())"

API Key Issues

# Verify environment variables python -c "import os; print(os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'))"

Port Already in Use

# Use different port uvicorn db_NLP:app --port 8001
