From Natural Language
to SQL Queries

The complete architectural journey: How PeopleWorksGPT transforms conversational questions into precise database queries across five different database engines

The Challenge

The Bridge Between Humans and Databases

Databases speak SQL. Humans speak... well, human. PeopleWorksGPT is the universal translator that makes this conversation possible, natural, and incredibly powerful.

๐Ÿ’ก The Core Innovation

Unlike traditional query builders that require learning specific syntax or clicking through endless menus, PeopleWorksGPT understands questions like "Show me the top 10 customers by revenue this quarter" and instantly translates them into optimized SQL queries - regardless of whether you're using SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or SQLite.

Understanding the Problem

Why Natural Language to SQL is Complex

๐ŸŽฏ

Ambiguity Resolution

Natural language is inherently ambiguous. "Last quarter" could mean many things. The system must understand context, intent, and business logic to generate the correct query.

๐Ÿ—„๏ธ

Schema Understanding

The AI must know your database structure: which tables exist, how they relate, which columns contain what data, and how to join them properly to answer questions.

๐Ÿ”„

Multi-Dialect Support

Different databases speak different SQL dialects. A query that works in SQL Server might fail in PostgreSQL. The system must adapt to each database's unique syntax.

The Process

The 5-Step NL2SQL Pipeline

Every natural language query goes through a sophisticated five-step process that ensures accuracy, security, and optimal performance.

01
Session Initialization & Context Setup
The system creates or retrieves a conversation session, loading the complete database schema including table names, column definitions, data types, constraints, and foreign key relationships. This context is essential for understanding what data is available and how it's structured.
var systemMessage = $"""
    You are an assistant that answers questions using the 
    information stored in a {provider.Name} database and 
    the {provider.Language} language.
    Your answers can only reference one or more of the 
    following tables: '{string.Join(',', tables)}'.
    You can create only {provider.Language} SELECT queries.
    """;
02
Intelligent Table Selection
Using AI reasoning, the system analyzes the question and identifies which tables from the database schema are likely to contain relevant information. This critical step reduces complexity and improves query accuracy by focusing only on pertinent data.
var request = $"""
    You must answer the following question, '{question}', 
    using a {provider.Language} query for a {provider.Name} 
    database.
    From the comma separated list of tables available in 
    the database, select those tables that might be useful 
    in the generated {provider.Language} query.
    The selected tables should be returned in a comma 
    separated list.
    """;
03
Schema Detail Retrieval
For the selected tables, the system retrieves complete CREATE TABLE scripts including column definitions, data types, constraints, primary keys, and relationship information. This provides the AI with the precise schema structure needed to generate accurate joins and column references.
SELECT 
    isc.TABLE_SCHEMA AS [SCHEMA], 
    isc.TABLE_NAME AS [TABLE], 
    isc.COLUMN_NAME AS [COLUMN],
    UPPER(isc.DATA_TYPE) + 
    ISNULL('(' + CAST(isc.CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH AS VARCHAR) 
        + ')', '') + ' ' + 
    CASE WHEN isc.IS_NULLABLE = 'YES' 
        THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'NOT NULL' END + ' ' + 
    ISNULL(pKey.CONSTRAINT_TYPE, '') AS DESCRIPTION
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS isc
LEFT JOIN PRIMARY_KEY_INFO pKey 
    ON pKey.ColumnName = isc.COLUMN_NAME
04
SQL Query Generation
The AI constructs a SQL query using the schema information and the natural language question. It applies database-specific syntax rules, optimizes for performance, and ensures the query only references valid tables and columns. Security filters prevent INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE operations.
var request = $"""
    A {provider.Name} database contains the following 
    tables and columns:
    {createTableScripts}
    Generate a {provider.Language} query for a 
    {provider.Name} database to answer the question: 
    '{question}'
    The query must only reference table names and column 
    names that appear in this request.
    Your response should only contain the {provider.Language} 
    query, no other information is required.
    You can create only SELECT queries. Never create INSERT, 
    UPDATE nor DELETE commands.
    """;
05
Query Validation & Execution
The generated SQL is validated by the database provider, normalized for the specific database engine, and executed with proper error handling. Results are returned as a DbDataReader for efficient data streaming and presentation.
query = await provider.NormalizeQueryAsync(
    query, 
    cancellationToken
);

var reader = await provider.ExecuteQueryAsync(
    query, 
    cancellationToken
);

return new DatabaseGptQueryResult(query, reader);

Multi-Database Support

The Provider Pattern Architecture

PeopleWorksGPT supports five different database engines through a sophisticated provider pattern that abstracts database-specific operations while maintaining optimal performance for each platform.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Abstraction Layer - IDatabaseGptProvider

Defines the contract that all database providers must implement, ensuring consistent behavior across all database engines.

public interface IDatabaseGptProvider : IDisposable
{
    string Name { get; }
    string Language { get; }
    
    Task<IEnumerable<string>> GetTablesAsync(
        IEnumerable<string> includedTables, 
        IEnumerable<string> excludedTables, 
        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default
    );
    
    Task<string> GetCreateTablesScriptAsync(
        IEnumerable<string> tables, 
        IEnumerable<string> excludedColumns, 
        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default
    );
    
    Task<string?> GetQueryHintsAsync(
        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default
    );
    
    Task<string> NormalizeQueryAsync(
        string query, 
        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default
    );
    
    Task<DbDataReader> ExecuteQueryAsync(
        string query, 
        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default
    );
}

โš™๏ธ Implementation Layer - Database-Specific Providers

Each database engine has its own provider implementation that handles dialect-specific SQL syntax, schema queries, and optimization strategies.

Database Provider Class SQL Dialect Key Features
SQL Server SqlServerDatabaseGptProvider T-SQL 2008 R2+ compatibility, relationship detection
MySQL MySqlDatabaseGptProvider MySQL SQL INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries, charset support
PostgreSQL NpgsqlDatabaseGptProvider PostgreSQL Advanced types, schema namespaces
Oracle OracleDatabaseGptProvider PL/SQL ALL_TAB_COLUMNS, sequence support
SQLite SqliteDatabaseGptProvider SQLite SQL Lightweight, file-based, pragma queries

๐Ÿ”Œ Registration & Configuration

Dependency injection makes it seamless to configure any database provider with just a few lines of code.

// SQL Server
services.AddDatabaseGpt(options =>
{
    options.UseSqlServer(connectionString);
});

// MySQL
services.AddDatabaseGpt(options =>
{
    options.UseMySql(connectionString);
});

// PostgreSQL

Real-World Example

From Question to Results: A Complete Journey

๐ŸŽฌ Scenario: Business Intelligence Query

User Question: "Show me the top 10 customers by total revenue this year, including their contact information and order count"

Database: Northwind Sample Database (SQL Server)
Available Tables: Customers, Orders, Order Details, Products, Employees

๐Ÿ“
User Input
Show me the top 10 customers by total revenue this year, 
including their contact information and order count
๐ŸŽฏ
AI Table Selection Result
The AI analyzes the question and identifies the necessary tables:
[dbo].[Customers], [dbo].[Orders], [dbo].[Order Details]
Why these tables?
  • Customers - for customer information and contact details
  • Orders - for order count and date filtering (this year)
  • Order Details - for revenue calculation (quantity ร— price)
๐Ÿ“Š
Schema Information Retrieved
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customers] (
    [CustomerID] NCHAR(5) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    [CompanyName] NVARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
    [ContactName] NVARCHAR(30) NULL,
    [ContactTitle] NVARCHAR(30) NULL,
    [Address] NVARCHAR(60) NULL,
    [City] NVARCHAR(15) NULL,
    [Region] NVARCHAR(15) NULL,
    [PostalCode] NVARCHAR(10) NULL,
    [Country] NVARCHAR(15) NULL,
    [Phone] NVARCHAR(24) NULL,
    [Fax] NVARCHAR(24) NULL
);

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Orders] (
    [OrderID] INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    [CustomerID] NCHAR(5) NULL,
    [EmployeeID] INT NULL,
    [OrderDate] DATETIME NULL,
    [RequiredDate] DATETIME NULL,
    [ShippedDate] DATETIME NULL,
    [ShipVia] INT NULL,
    [Freight] MONEY NULL
);

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Order Details] (
    [OrderID] INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    [ProductID] INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    [UnitPrice] MONEY NOT NULL,
    [Quantity] SMALLINT NOT NULL,
    [Discount] REAL NOT NULL
);

### Key Relationships:
Orders (CustomerID) joined with Customers (CustomerID)
Order Details (OrderID) joined with Orders (OrderID)

Query Analysis:
  • Uses TOP 10 for SQL Server (would be LIMIT 10 for MySQL/PostgreSQL)
  • Correctly joins three tables using foreign key relationships
  • Calculates revenue considering discount: UnitPrice ร— Quantity ร— (1 - Discount)
  • Filters for current year using YEAR(GETDATE())
  • Groups by customer attributes for aggregation
  • Orders by revenue descending to show top performers first

Advanced Capabilities

Intelligent Features That Make It Work

๐Ÿง 

Context-Aware Conversations

The system maintains conversation context across multiple queries. If you ask "Show me customers" followed by "Filter those from Germany", it understands "those" refers to the previous customer query and builds upon it.

var conversationExists = await chatGptClient
    .ConversationExistsAsync(sessionId, cancellationToken);
    
if (!conversationExists) {
    // Initialize new session with schema
} else {
    // Continue existing conversation
}
๐Ÿ”’

Security by Design

Built-in protection prevents malicious queries. Only SELECT statements are allowed - the system explicitly rejects INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, or any other data modification commands.

if (query == "NONE") {
    throw new InvalidSqlException(
        $"The question '{question}' requires an INSERT, " +
        "UPDATE or DELETE command, that isn't supported."
    );
}
๐Ÿ“

Schema Filtering

Administrators can include or exclude specific tables and columns, controlling what data users can access through natural language queries. Perfect for hiding sensitive information or focusing on specific datasets.

services.AddDatabaseGpt(options =>
{
    options.UseSqlServer(connectionString);
    options.IncludedTables = new[] 
    { 
        "dbo.Customers", 
        "dbo.Orders" 
    };
    options.ExcludedColumns = new[] 
    { 
        "SSN", 
        "CreditCard" 
    };
});
๐ŸŽฃ

Lifecycle Hooks

Developers can hook into the query generation process at multiple points: when starting, when tables are identified, and when SQL is generated. This enables logging, auditing, custom validation, or query modification.

var options = new NaturalLanguageQueryOptions
{
    OnStarting = async (sp) =>
    {
        var logger = sp.GetService<ILogger>();
        logger.LogInformation("Query starting...");
    },
    OnCandidateTablesFound = async (args, sp) =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Tables: {args.Tables}");
    },
    OnQueryGenerated = async (args, sp) =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"SQL: {args.Query}");
    }
};
๐Ÿ”„

Relationship Detection

The system automatically discovers foreign key relationships between tables and includes this information in the AI context, enabling the generation of accurate JOIN statements without manual configuration.

### Key Relationships:
dbo.Orders (CustomerID) joined with 
    dbo.Customers (CustomerID)
dbo.OrderDetails (OrderID) joined with 
    dbo.Orders (OrderID)
dbo.OrderDetails (ProductID) joined with 
    dbo.Products (ProductID)
โšก

Resilience Pipeline

Built on Polly, the system implements retry policies, circuit breakers, and timeout handling to ensure reliability even when facing transient failures, database timeouts, or AI API issues.

private readonly ResiliencePipeline pipeline = 
    pipelineProvider.GetPipeline(
        nameof(DatabaseGptClient)
    );

await pipeline.ExecuteAsync(async ct =>
{
    var tables = await GetTablesAsync(...);
    var query = await GetQueryAsync(...);
    return await provider.ExecuteQueryAsync(query);
}, cancellationToken);

  • Date Functions: GETDATE() (SQL Server), NOW() (MySQL), CURRENT_DATE (PostgreSQL/Oracle)
  • Boolean Types: BIT (SQL Server), BOOLEAN (PostgreSQL/MySQL), NUMBER(1) (Oracle)
Reliability

Robust Error Handling

โš ๏ธ

No Relevant Tables Found

NoTableFoundException:
"No available information in the provided 
tables can be useful for the question 
'What is the weather today?'."

When the AI determines that none of the available database tables contain relevant information to answer the question, it gracefully fails with a clear explanation.

๐Ÿšซ

Invalid Operation Requested

InvalidSqlException:
"The question 'Delete all old customers' 
requires an INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE command, 
that isn't supported."

Security protection prevents data modification commands, ensuring the system is strictly read-only for business intelligence and reporting purposes.

๐Ÿ”ง

SQL Execution Errors

DatabaseGptException:
"An error occurred while executing the query. 
See the inner exception for details."

Inner: SqlException
"Invalid column name 'CustomerNam'. 
Did you mean 'CustomerName'?"

Database-specific errors are wrapped with context, preserving the original exception details for debugging while providing a consistent error handling experience.

๐Ÿ”„

Transient Failure Recovery

// Automatic retry with exponential backoff
var pipeline = new ResiliencePipelineBuilder()
    .AddRetry(new RetryStrategyOptions
    {
        MaxRetryAttempts = 3,
        Delay = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),
        BackoffType = DelayBackoffType.Exponential
    })
    .Build();

Network timeouts, temporary database unavailability, and AI API rate limits are handled automatically through intelligent retry mechanisms.
