Abstract
A natural language query builder interface retrieves the required data in structured form from database when query is entered in natural language. The user need not necessarily have sufficient technical knowledge of structured query language statements so nontechnical users can also use this proposed model. In natural language parsing, getting highly accurate syntactic analysis is a crucial step. Parsing of natural languages is the process of mapping an input string or a natural language sentence to its syntactic representation. Constituency parsing approach takes more time for parsing. So, natural language query builder interface is developed in which the parsing of natural language sentence is done by using dependency parsing approach. Dependency parsing technique is widespread in natural language domain because of its state-of-art accuracy and efficiency and also it performs best. In this paper, the buffering scheme is also proposed for natural language statements which will not load the whole sentence if it was done previously. Also there was a need of generalized access to all tables from database which is handled in this system.
