   CREATE TABLE responses (
     id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
     user_input VARCHAR(255),
     bot_reply VARCHAR(255)
   );
   
   
   

INSERT INTO responses (user_input, bot_reply) VALUES ('hello', 'Hi there!'), ('how are you', 'I am just a bot, but I am doing great!');

Note 1.This is a basic demo. No input sanitization is applied. 2.For production use, ensure secure coding practices (e.g., use prepared statements).
