Natural Language Interface to Databases: A Survey

Manika Tyagi

Abstract: We have to deal with information in our day-to-day life. Databases are the main source of information. In order to retrieve information from database; one has to understand the structure of database languages like SQL. However; general users are not able to write SQL queries since they may not have knowledge of databases. So; this led to developing such systems where common users write their questions in natural language and obtain results in form of table. This paper introduces natural language processing to databases.
