This can happen since it isn't an instruction model it does better at code completion so you would rewrite you instruction as a comment and start the SQL code and let it complete it or you could try this instruction-tuned version of the model: https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/starchat-playground

The starchat-alpha blog post explains why you're not getting the results you are looking for (and also provides an example of their StarChat solution which I think would do what you are hoping for and is what @loubnabnl referenced).
