• Several applications in various domains including healthcare, customer support and search engines, require elaborating structured data having information on text.
• Moreover, many issues have been explored including configuration complexity, processing of intensive algorithms, and popularity of relational databases, due to which translating natural language to database query has become a secondary area of investigation.
• The emerging trend of querying systems and speech-enabled interfaces revived natural language to database queries research area., The last survey published on this topic was six years ago in 2013.
