New benchmark 'persona-bench' highlights text-to-SQL accuracy gap

The text-to-SQL benchmark landscape, dominated by BIRD and Spider, often uses schemas that do not reflect real-world user applications. The author introduces 'persona-bench,' a new benchmark designed with schemas and queries representative of typical user interactions with products like nlqdb. This new benchmark, using the same scoring mechanism as BIRD and Spider, shows a significantly higher accuracy for their system, highlighting the importance of using relevant benchmarks for evaluating text-to-SQL performance in practical scenarios.
