Use Select AI for Natural Language Interaction with your Database

Select AI enables SQL access to generative AI using Large Language Models (LLMs) and embedding models. This includes support for natural language to SQL query generation and retrieval augmented generation, among other features.

For natural language to SQL generation, Select AI processes the natural language prompt, supplements the prompt with metadata, and then accesses the LLM to generate a query, and if requested, run that query.

• About Select AI
  Use natural language to interact with your database and LLMs through SQL to enhance user productivity and develop AI-based applications. Select AI simplifies and automates using generative AI, whether generating, running, and explaining SQL from a natural language prompt, using retrieval augmented generation with vector stores, or chatting with the LLM.
• Select AI Concepts
  Here are some concepts and terms related to Select AI.
• Select AI Use Cases
  Select AI enhances data interaction and enables developers to build AI-driven applications directly from SQL, transforming natural language prompts to SQL queries and text responses, supports chat interaction with LLMs and enhances response accuracy with current data using RAG.
• Getting Started with Select AI
  To get started, review the prerequisites and the tasks that you need to perform to use Select AI.
• Manage AI Profiles
  You can create and manage your AI profiles through DBMS_ACLOUD_AI package.
• Use AI Keyword to Enter Prompts
  Use AI as the keyword in a SELECT statement for interacting with the database using natural language prompts.
• Select AI with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
  Select AI with RAG augments your natural language prompt by retrieving content from your specified vector store using semantic similarity search. This reduces hallucinations by using your specific and up-to-date content and provides more relevant natural language responses to your prompts.
