Answer
I have spent 30 years working on NL to SQL.  I have a working program i sell to my customers.  If you can get a copy of Microsoft SQL 2000 you will see that it comes with a program to do this as well.  That program was dropped from the SQL 2005 becuase it didn't work very well.  i don't know very much about the other 3 choices you have listed.  How good of a programmer are you?  Do you have hundreds of hours of time to do this?  i could give you a design for NL to SQL that would represent the most state of the art technology ever.  (there would be strings attached).
