1.3 About Introduction to the Project Including Techniques

TALKDB is a web application designed to simplify database interactions by allowing

users to ask questions in simple English instead of writing complex SQL queries. The
application uses existing Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools to understand the
user’s intent and generate the corresponding SQL queries. Users can select the
database and tables they want to work with through the web interface. These queries
are then executed on a MySQL database, and the results are displayed in a clear and
user-friendly format. This approach makes it easy for anyone to access and retrieve
data without requiring technical knowledge of SQL.

The project integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP) powered by LLaMA

3.2B to understand and process user inputs accurately. LLaMA’s helps to
understanding capabilities enable precise extraction of intents, conditions, and key
attributes from natural language queries. These are then transformed into SQL queries
using AI-based logic.

1.5 Problem Statement

One of the significant challenges in today’s data-driven world is the accessibility of

data stored in databases. Non-technical users often struggle to interact with databases
due to the necessity of understanding SQL. This knowledge gap can hinder effective
data utilization, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. The problem
becomes more pronounced in scenarios where quick data access and manipulation are
crucial. This project aims to address this issue by developing an application that
allows users to interact with databases using natural language queries. By translating
these queries into SQL, the application eliminates the need for users to have
specialized knowledge, thereby making data handling more accessible and efficient.
