In the contemporary digital era, data has evolved into the cornerstone of myriad sectors, encompassing academia, commerce, and medical research. Yet, the acquisition of insights from this expansive reservoir of information has historically demanded a level of proficiency in formal languages such as SQL, thereby imposing a substantial barrier for individuals lacking technical expertise. In response to this pervasive challenge, the advent of Natural Language Interface to Databases (NLIDB) has emerged as a promising and transformative solution. NLIDB offers users the capability to engage with databases through the utilization of their natural language, whether expressed in textual or verbal form. This paradigm shift empowers both seasoned experts and neophytes to effortlessly extract valuable information from databases without the prerequisite of specialized technical skills. In this research paper, we propose an innovative system that capitalizes on an intermediary SQL generation process, facilitating the seamless bridge between natural language input and subsequent database retrieval. This novel approach eliminates the need for users to possess awareness of the intricate underlying complexities of the database management process. By simplifying the interaction between users and databases, our system endeavours to democratize data access and promote the universal utilization of this invaluable resource across diverse domains.
