TalkToSQL is an CLI tool that lets you query your DB with natural languages instead of SQL queries.

$ talktosql learn

$ talktosql ask --q "Find the total sales per author for books published after the year 1800"
SELECT a.name, SUM(b.price * o.quantity) as total_sales
FROM authors a
JOIN books b ON a.id = b.author_id
JOIN orders o ON b.id = o.book_id
WHERE b.publication_date > '1800-12-31'
GROUP BY a.name;

1. Install the package

   pip install talktosql -U
   

2. Set the environment variables

   You can create a .env file in your local directory to get kickstarted.

   OPENAI_API_KEY="SOME_API_KEY"
   OPENAI_ORG_ID="SOME_ORG_ID"
   OPENAI_MODEL_NAME="gpt-4"
   TALKTOSQL_DATABASE_URL="mysql://myuser:mypassword@localhost/mydb"
   TALKTOSQL_DATABASE_NAME="mydb"

   Alternatively, you can run these in your terminal or set these in your terminal config (~/.zshrc)

   export OPENAI_API_KEY="SOME_API_KEY"
   export OPENAI_ORG_ID="SOME_ORG_ID"
   export OPENAI_MODEL_NAME="gpt-4"
   export TALKTOSQL_DATABASE_URL="mysql://myuser:mypassword@localhost/mydb"
   # export TALKTOSQL_DATABASE_URL="postgresql://myuser:mypassword@localhost/mydb"
   export TALKTOSQL_DATABASE_NAME="mydb"

   • Get the value for OPENAI_API_KEY from OpenAI API Keys
   • Get the value for OPENAI_ORG_ID from OpenAI Org Settings

3. Help TalktoSQL learn your DB Schema. This will save your DB schema info to a file in your home directory (~/.talktosql_schema_info)

   talktosql learn

4. Query your DB in English instead of an SQL query

   talktosql ask --q "Find the total sales per author for books published after the year 1800"

5. Try querying your DB in any natural language (e.g. Korean) instead of an SQL query

   talktosql ask --q "1800년 이후로 출간된 책들의 매출을 작가별로 알려줘"
