arXiv:2608. 15145v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have been increasingly adopted in Text-to-SQL systems, yet SQL errors remain a major obstacle in real-world Text-to-SQL inference pipelines.
arXiv:2606. 12387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have democratized database access through Text-to-SQL, but moving from prototypes to production remains difficult.
arXiv:2606. 15598v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-SQL aims to translate natural language questions into executable SQL queries over structured databases, enabling non-expert users to access data intuitively.
The paper "Towards Optimizing SQL Generation via LLM Routing" proposes a routing approach for Text-to-SQL tasks that dynamically selects the most cost‑effective large language model (LLM) for each query. Two routing strategies—score‑based and classification‑based—are introduced, achieving accuracy comparable to the best LLM while reducing latency and monetary cost. The authors design the routers for easy training and efficient inference, and demonstrate a practical accuracy‑cost trade‑off on the BIRD dataset.
LIMIT (Less Is More for Instruction Tuning in Text-to-SQL) challenges the belief that large instruction corpora are necessary for effective Text-to-SQL models. The framework uses a four‑stage data‑centric process—difficulty‑aware filtering, chain‑of‑thought synthesis, LLM‑as‑judge quality scoring, and genetic algorithm optimization—to select a compact set of examples that still achieve full schema coverage. On the BIRD and Spider benchmarks, LIMIT’s 796 and 863 samples enable Qwen3‑8B to reach 69.1% and 88.9% execution accuracy, outperforming methods trained on twenty times more data and setting a new state‑of‑the‑art for open‑source approaches.
arXiv:2608. 03794v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming database interaction paradigms, evolving from simple query translators to autonomous database administrators (DBAs).
arXiv:2607. 20489v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-SQL has advanced rapidly with large language models, but complex database queries still require reasoning beyond one-shot generation, including multi-step decomposition, execution-based diagnosis, and targeted correction.
arXiv:2606. 18108v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a text-to-SQL (structured query language) system based on large language models (LLMs) using in-context learning and apply it to the Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events (ALeRCE) astronomical database.

PremiseSQL introduces a benchmark of 1,800 flawed natural language to SQL (NL2SQL) queries, grouped into four categories of premise failures, alongside their original valid counterparts. The study evaluates large language models’ ability to critique flawed premises and abstain from generating misleading SQL, using an evaluation framework across three prompting settings. Results show that current models tend to trust premises and rarely critique them, while stronger critique-oriented prompting improves detection but also raises false invalid judgments and reduces SQL generation for valid queries.
arXiv:2607. 22624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recently, there have been several works in the Text-to-SQL domain that utilize Small Language Models (SLMs) for training.
arXiv:2607. 22622v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent Text-to-SQL methods rely heavily on reasoning-centric paradigms such as Chain-of-Thought (CoT), achieving substantial gains on complex benchmarks at the cost of high inference-time overhead.
