Integrates AI into your database: automatically converts natural language queries into SQL, and then runs the SQL query. As far as we are aware, this is the first integration of LLMs to enable natural language queries into a production database manager. Currently works as an extension to SQLite3, more to come!
These example queries use a large SQLite database with multiple tables:
% ./sqlite3 Chinook_Sqlite.sqlite
sqlite> select ask('show me the total invoiced for all artists.');
2328.6
(SQLwrite translation to SQL: SELECT sum(Invoice.Total) FROM Invoice;;)
sqlite> select ask('show me the total invoiced for all artists whose last name starts with "S"');
306.98
(SQLwrite translation to SQL: SELECT SUM(Invoice.Total) as total_invoiced FROM Invoice JOIN Customer ON Invoice.CustomerId = Customer.CustomerId WHERE Customer.LastName LIKE 'S%';)
sqlite> select ask('give me a list of all artists (with no duplicates) whose genre is reggae');
Cidade Negra
Lenny Kravitz
UB40
(SQLwrite translation to SQL: SELECT DISTINCT Artist.Name FROM Artist JOIN Album ON Artist.ArtistId = Album.ArtistId JOIN Track ON Album.AlbumId = Track.AlbumId JOIN Genre ON Track.GenreId = Genre.GenreId WHERE Genre.Name = 'Reggae';;)
sqlite> select ask('Haz una lista de todos los artistas cuyos nombres empiezan con la letra L');
Led Zeppelin
Luiz Melodia
Legião Urbana
Lenny Kravitz
Lulu Santos
Lost
Los Lonely Boys
Los Hermanos
Luciana Souza/Romero Lubambo

(SQLwrite translation to SQL: SELECT Name FROM Artist WHERE Name LIKE 'L%';)
Download and run make. Currently Mac and Linux only. You may need to install the curl library.
sudo apt install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
Either use the built-in SQLite (if it was built to allow extensions), or run the generated sqlite3 file on your database:
./sqlite3 my_database.db
and then run the following command to load the SQLwrite extension:
select load_extension("the_path_to_your_sqlwrite_directory/sqlwrite");
or:
.load the_path_to_your_sqlwrite_directory/sqlwrite
You can now issue English language queries by using the ask function:
SELECT ask('(whatever you want)');
SQLwrite includes SQLite3 (https://www.sqlite.org/index.html), and is built with the assistance of several excellent libraries, whose code is (for now) included in this repository:
React
Typescript
Django
Laravel
Facebook
Microsoft
Google
Alibaba
D3
Tencent
