> but humans will never actually write SQL. They will instead ask questions about data in a natural language. Someone trialed an idea with directly interpreting user text queries at my previous job. They gave up after seeing what people typed in. People have no concept of what the computer needs to do it's job, so you get terse gibberish. At a minimum you'd need the computer to talk back and get them to clarify, but I rather suspect people would hate that. It'd feel like you spent 20 minutes arguing with a computer to run a report.
