TL;DR

This work introduces ExpeSQL, a zero-shot, open-source–compatible, and efficient framework that combines divide-and-conquer reasoning, Best-of-N candidate selection, and self-critique with experience-guided refinement that establishes a new paradigm for deployable, self-improving Text-to-SQL systems in dynamic, real-world environments.

SafeQL: Search-based Refinement for Safe and Efficient LLM-based Text-to-SQL

SafeQL is proposed, a search-based refinement paradigm that redefines the role of the DBMS as an active guide in the refinement process, and significantly improves execution accuracy and efficiency compared to regeneration-based methods.

ACTS-SQL: Agentic and Critic-Oriented Tree-Structured SQL Correctness with Large Language Models

This work presents a training-free framework that formulates SQL correction as a plan-guided, tree-structured debugging process that mitigates error accumulation during iterative refinement and demonstrates the effectiveness and stability of the approach in real-world deployments.

Agentic-SQL Revisited: Autonomy-Based Taxonomy and Empirical Benchmark Analysis for LLM Text-to-SQL

A Python harness mirroring the autonomy axis is released so that future methods can be added directly to the leaderboard, and four patterns emerge: Spider gains transfer unevenly to BIRD and Spider~2.0; autonomy buys robustness at non-trivial cost; reasoning internalization sits between answer-only decoding and externa...

Iteration Without Elaboration: A Simple ReAct Architecture Suffices for Text-to-SQL Generation

A simple yet effective zero-shot ReAct-style framework built solely on iterative reasoning and a constrained action space defined by a typed Domain-Specific Language (DSL) of 15 relational operations, rather than free-form SQL generation.

Guided Table Retrieval for Structured Data Search

guided table retrieval is presented, a four-phase pipeline that combines deterministic grounding via hash-based predictors, structural exploration of join-graph reachability, LLM-powered disambiguation of sources and targets, and algorithmic merging into minimal, topologically ordered join trees.

Beyond the Harness: End-to-End Optimization of Context Artifacts for Enterprise Text-to-SQL

In this ablation, retrieved knowledge-base context provides the largest marginal improvement when added to the full oracle graph, and a distillation procedure that turns historical query profiles into reusable SQL reference cards is optimized.
