## Description

Sqlcoder is a text-to-SQL large language model specialized in converting natural language questions into structured, executable database queries. It functions as a database interface and query generator that allows for data retrieval without requiring manual code.

The system utilizes an instruction-tuned model combined with schema-aware prompting and dynamic context injection. By ingesting database metadata and using in-context learning with example query pairs, it generates syntactically valid queries that match the specific schema of a connected database.

The project covers a broader range of capabilities including business intelligence automation and self-service data analytics. It provides infrastructure for database connection management and a visual interface for query execution and metadata ingestion.
