CodexDB: Synthesizing Code for Query Processing from Natural Language Instructions using GPT-3 Codex

Summary: CodexDB leverages GPT-3 Codex to synthesize query-processing code from natural-language instructions. Decomposing complex SQL into stepwise, NL-described processing stages augmented by user guidance and database properties; prototype attains 81% WikiSQL and 62% SPIDER.
