Abstract

Historically, databases have been the most crucial issue in the study of information systems, and they constitute an essential part of all information management systems. Since, it complicated due to restricting the number of potential users, particularly non-expert database users who must comprehend the database structure to submit such queries. Natural language interface (NLI), the simplest method to retrieve information, is one possibility for interacting with the database. The transformation of a natural language query into a Structured Query (SQL) in a database is known as a "Natural Language Interface to Database" (NLIDB). This study uses NLIDB to handle the works performed under various aggregations with aggregation functions, a grouping phrase, and a possessing clause. This study carefully examines the numerous systematic aggregation approaches utilized in the NLIDB. This review provides extensive information about the many methods, including query-based, pattern-based, general, keyword-based NLIDB, and grammar-based systems, to extract data for a dissertation from a generic module for use in such systems that support query execution utilizing aggregations.
