LlamaIndex + Text-to-SQL: What I Learned

What I Was Trying to Do

I had structured data in SQLite and didn’t want to write SQL for every question. LlamaIndex let me ask things like “which city has the most people?” in plain English — it figures out the query, runs it, and returns the answer.

Key capabilities include:

Translating natural language into SQL queries.
Converting unstructured context into structured insights.
Dynamically retrieving relevant schemas or tables for complex databases.

Note: Never expose full write-access databases to LLMs. Always use read-only credentials or sandboxed environments for safety.
