  CodexDB is an SQL processing engine whose internals can be customized via
natural language instructions. CodexDB is based on OpenAI's GPT-3 Codex model
which translates text into code. It is a framework on top of GPT-3 Codex that
decomposes complex SQL queries into a series of simple processing steps,
described in natural language. Processing steps are enriched with user-provided
instructions and descriptions of database properties. Codex translates the
resulting text into query processing code. An early prototype of CodexDB is
able to generate correct code for a majority of queries of the WikiSQL
benchmark and can be customized in various ways.
