Writing queries in SQL has been a skill I've often seen in short supply. Not only the process of writing the technical syntax, but also the DWH-specific knowledge for the given organisation. By refining GPT-3 with a series of training examples encapsulating the relationship between Natural English Language, the syntax of SQL and the DWH structure, it can transform the way we interact with data. It looks like NLP solutions to this problem feel a lot more realistic and the incredible thing is that GPT-3 is able to learn fast - apparently 10 examples can be enough for some uses. To get an idea of what I'm talking about, see below:
