Abstract

Databases play a vital role in organizing and retrieving the information we rely on every day. The evolution of computing has elevated the importance of databases in efficiently storing and managing information. Typically, users need to understand SQL—a query language—to fetch data from these systems. But for those unfamiliar with SQL syntax or the database structure, writing queries can be a challenge. This has led to the idea of enabling database access through natural language instead of SQL queries. This paper explores the development of an approach for converting Natural Language question into SQL query. The proposed method leverages semantic mapping and metadata to interpret natural language and convert it into SQL queries. The primary goal is to interpret user queries expressed in natural language, convert them into SQL statements, and fetch the corresponding data from the database by running those SQL queries.
