### Dataset Summary
Spider is a large-scale complex and cross-domain semantic parsing and text-to-SQL dataset annotated by 11 Yale students
The goal of the Spider challenge is to develop natural language interfaces to cross-domain databases
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
The leaderboard can be seen at https://yale-lily.github.io/spider
### Languages
The text in the dataset is in English.
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
**What do the instances that comprise the dataset represent?**
Each instance is natural language question and the equivalent SQL query
**How many instances are there in total?**
**What data does each instance consist of?**
[More Information Needed]
### Data Fields
* **db_id**: Database name
