A tool for access to relational databases in natural language

Research highlights? In this paper we present a tool capable of transforming queries formatted in natural languages (English, German and Greek), into their equivalent SQL queries. Also we present an extension of the tool in order to be capable of transforming queries formatted in natural languages (English, German and Greek), into their equivalent SpaRQL queries. Many DB management systems use SQL syntax in order to provide a mechanism for data accessing. Although SQL is widely used, its syntax is not very comprehensive to a typical user. In this paper we present a tool capable of transforming simple queries formatted in natural language into their equivalent SQL queries. The purpose of this study is to provide a query syntax method closer to natural language. We currently support three languages: English, German and Greek and we show how our tool can be extended easily from a user so as to support any other language.
