Towards Enterprise-Scale Text-to-SQL
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have accelerated their use across a variety of data tasks. Natural language access to relational databases via text-to-SQL has been a prime example. Public benchmarks have been instrumental in driving research in this area, but achieving similar results in real enterprise settings with more complex data and query workloads still remains a challenge. This talk presents an overview of our ongoing research in quantifying and closing this gap towards realizing robust and efficient text-to-SQL deployments at enterprise scale.
