arXiv:2502. 11201v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: NoSQL databases are core data infrastructure, yet natural-language access to them remains underdeveloped: correct query generation must recover how a non-relational data model represents entities, nested paths, arrays, missing fields, and dynamic keys.

Practical AI systems increasingly need to turn long, heterogeneous documents into queryable relational databases, not isolated spreadsheets. In domains such as finance, healthcare, education, transportation, and enterprise operations, downstream workflows rely on normalized schemas, entity identities, keys, cross-table relationships, and integrity constraints for analytics, compliance, auditing, and SQL-backed decision making.

The paper introduces a novel LLM‑driven multi‑agent pipeline that converts relational databases into graph databases by standardizing table and column names and iteratively refining the graph schema through ETL, Analyzer, and Graph agents. The resulting graph database meets accuracy, groundedness, and faithfulness criteria and shows significant performance gains, achieving 85.6% Q&A accuracy—12.12% higher than an SQL agent on PostgreSQL—and reducing latency by roughly threefold on a BFSI dataset. This demonstrates an efficient, automated method for transforming tabular data into a more intuitive and faster‑executing graph format.

text2ql is an open‑source Python framework that enables natural language querying of databases without being limited to SQL, without requiring large language model inference at query time, and with a runtime confidence score for each generated query. It uses a language‑agnostic Intermediate Representation (QueryIR) and a pluggable renderer that supports both SQL and GraphQL through a single seven‑stage detection pipeline. In deterministic mode, it achieves 100% execution accuracy with a median latency of 3.2 ms, while the LLM‑backed mode reaches 62‑70% exact match and 84‑91% execution accuracy on benchmark samples.

The paper introduces EXYGEN, a framework that enables conversational access to large knowledge graphs by combining VoID descriptions, ShEx schemas, retrieved triples, and example question‑query pairs in a retrieval‑augmented generation pipeline. On the SciQA benchmark, this approach achieves an exact‑match score of 0.419 without fine‑tuning any large language model, and shows that larger general‑purpose LLMs can outperform smaller code‑specialized ones when provided sufficient context. To scale metadata generation for very large KGs, the authors propose a predicate‑coverage‑aware parallel graph sampling strategy that preserves structural diversity, reduces runtime by over 80× on OpenCitations Meta and GESIS, and is the only tractable method for obtaining complete metadata on ORKG.

SPARQL-LLM is an open‑source, triplestore‑agnostic system that generates SPARQL queries from natural language using lightweight metadata and dedicated components for indexing, prompt building, and execution. It achieves up to 59 % higher F1 scores than the next best system on a multilingual challenge and on bioinformatics knowledge graphs, while being up to 27 × faster and costing no more than $0.01 per question. The project is publicly available on GitHub and is already deployed on real‑world decentralized knowledge graphs such as expasy.org/chat.
