Schema-Free Text-to-SQL Learns Enterprise Database Structure from Query Logs

Researchers have developed a novel Text-to-SQL framework designed to operate without requiring complete schema documentation, a common challenge in enterprise database environments. This new system learns database structure by analyzing historical query logs, identifying implicit relationships between tables and columns. By constructing a knowledge graph from query patterns and employing entity-driven GraphRAG retrieval, the framework grounds user questions in domain terminology, significantly outperforming traditional embedding-based retrieval methods. Evaluations on an industrial deployment and the Beaver benchmark demonstrated substantial improvements in executability and answer quality, with expert data engineers showing a strong preference for the new system.

    Schema-Free Text-to-SQL: Learning Enterprise Database Structure from Query Logs

    arXiv:2610.33946v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-SQL systems achieve remarkable accuracy on academic benchmarks, yet performance drops dramatically in enterprise deployments. This gap stems from a fundamental assumption: existing approaches require complete schema document…
