from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain import hub
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, create_react_agent, load_tools

api_wrapper = DataheraldAPIWrapper(db_connection_id="<db_connection_id>")
tool = DataheraldTextToSQL(api_wrapper=api_wrapper)
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", temperature=0)
prompt = hub.pull("hwchase17/react")
agent = create_react_agent(llm, tools, prompt)
agent_executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools, verbose=True)
agent_executor.invoke({"input":"Return the sql for this question: How many employees are in the company?"})
