Text to SQL Queries for ML: the Next Chapter in Database Querying History, Powered by GPT-4

Querying datasets has evolved significantly since the introduction of magnetic tapes in the 1940s. The process involves extracting data from a database based on specific criteria, with advancements driven by computer technology and the need for more accessible and efficient methods. SQL is the most common query language used today, but natural language processing (NLP) has simplified querying for non-technical users. Text to SQL technology enables users to retrieve data using plain English queries, saving time and increasing efficiency. The recent emergence of Text to TQL has revolutionized the querying process by allowing users to access complex datasets like Imagenet or COCO dataset easily. GPT-4 is a large multimodal model that can process both image and text inputs, expanding its potential use cases in dialogue systems, text summarization, and machine translation.
