## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

#### default

- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 26.16 MB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 154.74 MB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 180.90 MB

An example of 'validation' looks as follows.
```
This example was too long and was cropped:

{
    "phase": 1,
    "question": "How would you answer a second test question?",
    "sql": {
        "agg": 0,
        "conds": {
            "column_index": [2],
            "condition": ["Some Entity"],
            "operator_index": [0]
        },
        "human_readable": "SELECT Header1 FROM table WHERE Another Header = Some Entity",
        "sel": 0
    },
    "table": "{\"caption\": \"L\", \"header\": [\"Header1\", \"Header 2\", \"Another Header\"], \"id\": \"1-10015132-9\", \"name\": \"table_10015132_11\", \"page_i..."
}
```

### Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

#### default
- `phase`: a `int32` feature.
- `question`: a `string` feature.
- `header`: a `list` of `string` features.
- `page_title`: a `string` feature.
- `page_id`: a `string` feature.
- `types`: a `list` of `string` features.
- `id`: a `string` feature.
- `section_title`: a `string` feature.
- `caption`: a `string` feature.
- `rows`: a dictionary feature containing:
  - `feature`: a `string` feature.
- `name`: a `string` feature.
- `human_readable`: a `string` feature.
- `sel`: a `int32` feature.
- `agg`: a `int32` feature.
- `conds`: a dictionary feature containing:
  - `column_index`: a `int32` feature.
  - `operator_index`: a `int32` feature.
  - `condition`: a `string` feature.
