Thread: Proposal: Adding Text-to-SQL Feature with OpenAI API Integration to pgAdmin 4

Dear pgAdmin Hackers Community,

My name is Yusuf Ali, and I am the CTO of Rexven, a Turkey-based startup providing e-commerce solutions. I am a software developer with a strong background in artificial intelligence and data analytics, having worked on various AI-driven projects, including government initiatives in Turkey. I am reaching out to discuss a potential contribution to pgAdmin 4, as I am excited about enhancing its capabilities with a new feature.

I propose adding a Text-to-SQL query generation feature to pgAdmin, inspired by tools like Cursor. This feature would allow users to connect their own OpenAI API key to generate SQL queries from natural language input. A critical component of this feature would be a mechanism to securely send database schema information to the OpenAI model to ensure accurate query generation. To achieve this, I am considering approaches such as implementing a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pattern or using filtering methods to optimize schema handling and improve query accuracy.

My plan is to start by developing a Proof of Concept (PoC) to validate the feature's feasibility and iteratively refine it based on technical constraints and community feedback. I believe this addition could significantly enhance pgAdmin's usability, especially for users who need to quickly translate complex requirements into SQL queries.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this idea and any guidance on how to proceed with contributing to pgAdmin. Specifically, I’d appreciate feedback on:

  • The feasibility of integrating external APIs like OpenAI into pgAdmin.
  • Best practices for handling schema data securely in this context.
  • Any existing work or plugins in pgAdmin that might overlap with this feature.
I am eager to collaborate with the pgAdmin community and follow the contribution guidelines to ensure a smooth process. Please let me know if there are specific steps I should take to kickstart this, such as opening a GitHub issue or discussing further details here.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your feedback and hope to contribute to making pgAdmin even more powerful!

Best regards
