pretty_name: NSText2SQL
Dataset Summary
NSText2SQL dataset used to train NSQL models. The data is curated from more than 20 different public sources across the web with permissable licenses (listed below). All of these datasets come with existing text-to-SQL pairs. We apply various data cleaning and pre-processing techniques including table schema augmentation, SQL cleaning, and instruction generation using existing LLMs. The resulting dataset contains around 290,000 samples of text-to-SQL pairs.
For more information and code, please see this repository.
How to use it
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("NumbersStation/NSText2SQL")
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
Each data instance in this dataset represents a text-to-SQL entry where the instruction has been formatted with the table schema and question. The output is the SQL in SQlite dialect.
Data Fields
instruction(string): the instruction to generate SQL.output(string): the ground truth SQL.source(string): the source dataset of the sample.
Languages
The language of the data is primarily English.
Source Data and Licensing Information
NSText2SQL is sourced from repositories with various licenses. Any use of all or part of the data gathered in NSText2SQL must abide by the terms of the original licenses, including attribution clauses when relevant. We thank all authors who provided these datasets. We provide provenance information for each dataset below.
