The paper introduces a Database Normalization Benchmark (DNBENCH) with 3,275 samples to evaluate how well Large Language Models (LLMs) can perform database normalization from 1NF to BCNF, assessing semantic equivalence, structural accuracy, and logical validity. It identifies common failures in dependency inference, schema decomposition, and inter-table constraint reconstruction across various complexity levels. The authors also propose a Multi-Agent Reasoning for Schemas (MARS) framework that separates evidence extraction, violation diagnosis, and decomposition planning from schema generation, achieving an 82.0% improvement in DNB-SCORE over a single-prompt baseline.

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.

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.
