ProcArena: A Multi-Scenario Benchmark for LLMs on Direct and Interactive PL/SQL Development from Natural Language

Read the original on arXiv AI →

ProcArena is a new benchmark for evaluating large language models on natural‑language to PL/SQL translation tasks. It contains 3,998 executable tasks across 157 databases, covering nine development subscenarios in PostgreSQL and Oracle, and supports both direct generation and interactive multi‑turn scenarios. Experiments on seven models show that even the best performers achieve only about 62% accuracy in direct mode and 58% in interactive mode, highlighting the difficulty of realistic NL‑to‑PL/SQL development.

Dial: A Knowledge-Grounded Dialect-Specific NL2SQL System

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.
