SQL Query Agent

Connects to any SQLite database and answers natural language questions by generating and executing SQL.

Framework: LangChain
LLM: GPT-4o-mini

Setup

pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env

Run

# Demo mode — creates a sample e-commerce database automatically
python agent.py

# Your own database
python agent.py --db path/to/your/database.sqlite

# Single question
python agent.py --question "What is the total revenue by country?"

Databases open in read-only mode by default. Use --allow-write only with a disposable database if you intentionally want the generated SQL agent to be able to mutate data.

Example Questions

• "How many customers do we have in each country?"
• "What are the top 3 best-selling products?"
• "What was the total revenue last month?"
• "Which customer has spent the most?"
