Natural language interface to BigQuery

Google credentials

The Python BigQuery library expects the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, which should point to a JSON file containing the credentials of a Google service account. You can create a service account and download its credentials from the Google Cloud Console. Then set the environment variable:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/your/google-service-account.json

Creating a demo environment

mkdir demo # Git will ignore this directory
cd demo
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ../ # Install the local package in editable mode
nlbq init  # generates prompt.txt, Dockerfile and index.html
# make changes then
pip uninstall nlbq --yes; pip install -e ../

You can initialise with prepopulated BigQuery dataset table schema information with

nlbq init --table dataset.table_id
