def generate_sql_query_from_nl(natural_language_query: str, database_schema: dict) -> str:
    """
    Converts a natural language query into a syntactically correct SQL query using CodeGen's pretrained model.
    Handles JOINs, WHERE clauses, and basic aggregations. Optimized for execution time (<500ms).
    
    Args:
        natural_language_query: User's query in English (e.g., "Show me all customers from New York who made purchases over $100")
        database_schema: Dictionary containing table names and column definitions (e.g., {"customers": ["id", "name", "city"], "orders": ["id", "customer_id", "amount"]})
    
    Returns:
        A valid SQL query string or raises ValueError if the query cannot be generated.
    
    Raises:
        ValueError: If the natural language query is ambiguous or contains unsupported operations.
