PolySQL: Scaling Text-to-SQL Evaluation Across SQL Dialects via Automated Backend Isomorphism

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2605.07796v1 Announce Type: new SQL dialects vary in syntax, types, and functions across database engines. Text-to-SQL benchmarks, however, predominantly only SQLite. This creates a critical evaluation gap: cross-dialect evaluation reveals weak per-query agreement (Cohen's ), showing that SQLite performance is an unreliable proxy for other dialects. Yet such evaluation remains prohibitively difficult: existing approaches either require expensive manual query transpilation or rely on tools that often fail on complex SQL. To close this gap, we.
