The paper introduces DRL, a deterministic relational middleware layer designed to enable transaction-safe natural‑language to SQL (NL2SQL) interfaces over large enterprise OLTP catalogs. DRL interposes between front‑ends and SQL back‑ends, employing dynamic context pruning, relational AST typing, and transactional safeguards (EXPLAIN gating and NULL guards) to keep context within LLM attention limits and detect silent divergence. Experiments on PostgreSQL and MySQL show significant context reductions (up to 92%) and high execution match rates (≈53%) for GPT‑4o, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and Gemini 2.5 Flash, while also revealing that evaluation code quality can materially affect reported performance gaps.

arXiv:2607. 22572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can generate fluent SQL from natural language, but on real enterprise Oracle databases they frequently fail at execution time: columns and aliases are hallucinated and dialect-specific syntax is missed, leading to ORA-00904 invalid-identifier errors.

Organizations that cannot send data to a cloud API increasingly ask: how good is Text-to-SQL if the model must run on-premises on open weights, and which popular accuracy "recipes" are worth their compute? We answer with an honest, fully reproducible benchmark on the BIRD development split (n=1534, Execution Accuracy), evaluating three open model families across two generations -- Qwen2.
arXiv:2608. 16663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Direct text-to-SQL asks a language model to do two jobs: interpret the business question and construct the complete relational query.

The paper introduces the DevRev NL2SQL benchmark, featuring 900 execution‑verified queries that test natural‑language‑to‑SQL systems on nested, graph‑like enterprise schemas, and proposes the Semantic Depth Score (SDS) as a rubric for analytical reasoning depth. It also presents a cost‑aware, single‑generation agentic architecture that includes schema selection, metadata retrieval, and error‑repair components tailored to these complex schemas. On the DevRev benchmark, the system achieves 91.7% answer correctness, outperforming the next‑best baseline by 54.6 percentage points, and remains competitive on the Spider 2.0 Snowflake dataset.

Natural-language interfaces to enterprise data must translate underspecified requests into governed, executable behavior while controlling invalid queries, policy failures, cost, and nondeterminism. SemPlan Benchmark evaluates this architectural design space with a deterministic synthetic bilingual benchmark containing 1,800 cases in English and Brazilian Portuguese; 1,200 cases form the frozen scientific evaluation subset.
