A practical text-to-SQL system should generalize well on a wide variety of natural language questions, unseen database schemas, and novel SQL query structures. To comprehensively evaluate text-to-SQL systems, we introduce a UNIfied…

Relational databases are used ubiquitously. They are managed by database management systems (DBMS), which allow inserting, modifying, and querying data using a domain-specific language called Structured Query Language (SQL). Popular DBMS…
