A Cost-Aware Agentic Architecture for NL-to-SQL over Nested Enterprise Schemas, with a New Benchmark

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.

A Cost-Aware Agentic Architecture for NL-to-SQL over Nested Enterprise Schemas, with a New Benchmark

The paper introduces the DevRev NL2SQL benchmark, comprising 900 execution‑verified queries that feature nested‑type and link‑graph structures, along with the Semantic Depth Score (SDS) to assess 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 nested enterprise 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.
