What task from [Tasks - Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/tasks) is best for text-to-SQL? Is it the `text-generation` task?

Seems like [Machine translation to Sql like output](/static-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscuss.huggingface.co%2Ft%2Fmachine-translation-to-sql-like-output%2F50571) is a similar question, but went unanswered.
