💡 Usage Examples

Basic Query

Natural Language: "Show me all customers from New York"
Generated SQL: SELECT * FROM customers WHERE city = 'New York';

Complex Analytics

Natural Language: "What are the top 5 products by sales in the last quarter?"
Generated SQL: SELECT product_name, SUM(quantity * price) as total_sales 
               FROM orders o 
               JOIN order_items oi ON o.id = oi.order_id 
               JOIN products p ON oi.product_id = p.id 
               WHERE o.created_at >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 3 MONTH) 
               GROUP BY product_name 
               ORDER BY total_sales DESC 
               LIMIT 5;

API Usage

import requests

response = requests.post('http://localhost:8000/generate-query', json={
    'user_query': 'Show me monthly revenue trends',
    'db_schema': 'your_schema_here'
})

data = response.json()
print(f"SQL Query: {data['sql_query']}")
print(f"Results: {data['results']}")

---

🆘 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Connection Errors

# Check database connectivity
python -c "from db_NLP import engine; print(engine.connect())"

API Key Issues

# Verify environment variables
python -c "import os; print(os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'))"

Port Already in Use

# Use different port
uvicorn db_NLP:app --port 8001
