# FLAN-T5 Base Text to SQL Model

This model was fine-tuned on [Google's FLAN-T5 base](https://huggingface.co/google/flan-t5-base) using [SParC](https://yale-lily.github.io/sparc), [Spider](https://yale-lily.github.io/spider), and [CoSQL](https://yale-lily.github.io/cosql) datasets.

Purpose of this model is to create SQL queries from natural-language text.

In order to achieve accuracte results, database schema was incorporated to the prompt during training.

GitHub repository can be found [here](https://github.com/alpecevit/text2sql).

## Requirements

```bash
pip install transformers==4.38.2
pip install torch==2.2.2
```

## Usage

Please exercise caution when formatting the input.

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("alpecevit/flan-t5-base-text2sql")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("alpecevit/flan-t5-base-text2sql")

input_text = """
transform question and schema to SQL query. question: Who are the top 5 most paid employess by first name, last name, and salary ? schema: employee(salary, bdate, dno, ssn, fname, sex, superssn, address, minit, lname), department(dnumber, mgrstartdate, dname, mgrssn), dept_locations(dnumber, dlocation), project(pnumber, dnum, pname, plocation), works_on(pno, hours, essn), dependent(bdate, essn, dependent_name, sex, relationship).
"""

token_input = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").input_ids
output = model.generate(token_input, max_new_tokens=128)
query = tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

print("Predicted Query:", query)
```

*Output:*

```
SELECT fname, lname, salary FROM employee ORDER BY salary DESC LIMIT 5
```

## Evaluation

The fine-tuned model was evaluated using the combination of test splits of the above datasets. [ROUGE](https://huggingface.co/spaces/evaluate-metric/rouge) metrics were utilized for the assessment, and the results are outlined below.
