arXiv:2606. 08018v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing text-to-SQL benchmarks are largely centered on SQLite, making it difficult to evaluate whether models can generalize across heterogeneous SQL dialects.

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.
The paper introduces GRIPS, a three‑stage method that extracts structured pre‑SQL grounding information—such as table, column, value, and relation links—to guide text‑to‑SQL generation. Experiments on TempTabQA‑C and BIRD show that GRIPS‑Adaptive outperforms baseline SQL Static in 18 of 20 settings, boosting average accuracy by 11.8 percentage points and cutting model‑call token usage by 47.8%. The study demonstrates that explicit grounding improves accuracy and efficiency, while adding more pre‑SQL data does not always help.
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.

Retrieval in the SQL setting has largely been studied as the task of finding, within a large collection of SQL statements, the statement that answers a natural-language question. At scale, however, a more fundamental retrieval problem precedes generation: schema retrieval, identifying the tables and columns a question requires in a database that may contain thousands of them, far more than fit in a model's context.
The paper introduces Dial, a knowledge‑grounded framework for generating SQL queries that respect the specific dialect of heterogeneous database systems. Dial comprises a Dialect‑Aware Logical Query Planning module, a hierarchical intent‑aware knowledge base (HINT‑KB) containing canonical syntax, function, and constraint repositories, and an execution‑driven debugging loop that separates syntactic recovery from logic auditing. The authors also present DS‑NL2SQL, a benchmark of 2,218 dialect‑specific test cases across six major database systems, and report that Dial improves translation accuracy by 10.25% and dialect feature coverage by 15.77% over existing baselines.

The paper presents a framework for translating natural‑language queries into Kusto Query Language (KQL) using small language models (SLMs). It introduces lightweight retrieval, error‑aware prompting, LoRA fine‑tuning with rationale distillation, and a two‑stage architecture that pairs an SLM drafter with a low‑cost LLM judge. Evaluations on Microsoft’s NL2KQL Defender dataset show the two‑stage approach achieving high syntax and schema‑valid accuracy while dramatically reducing cost compared to larger LLM baselines.
