A recent analysis by dbt Labs highlights that the accuracy of text-to-SQL models is heavily influenced by the quality and structure of the underlying database schema, rather than solely by the model's capabilities. Experiments showed that improving the schema design, even without a semantic layer, boosted accuracy from 64.5% to 90.0%. Further enhancements with a semantic layer yielded even better results. The study also noted that different benchmarks may measure different aspects, such as schema translation effort or grading leniency, leading to seemingly contradictory results. AI
