arXiv:2608.11889v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompting-based (\textit{i}.\textit{e}., non-fine-tuning) Text-to-SQL methods, where underlying large language model parameters are not changed for the task, face three problems: (\textit{i})~relying on coarse-grained schema information that may not reveal the fine-grained relationships needed to distinguish ambiguous columns, (\textit{ii})~not capturing recurring SQL-generation failures, and (\textit{iii})~suffering from omission, hallucination, or misplacement of conditions in complex questions. This paper develops \textsc{DexterSQL}, a prompting/non-fine-tuning-based Text-to-SQL system that improves SQL generation with three novel components: (\textit{i})~\emph{deep schema explorator} that identifies ambiguous columns, analyzes their individual and joint data distributions to uncover their relationships and the distinct role of each, (\textit{ii})~\emph{database-agnostic rule creator} that mines mismatches between generated and gold SQL only on the training database and converts them into database-agnostic corrective rules that capture recurring LLM failure patterns; and (\textit{iii})~\emph{multi-path SQL generation} that introduces a dependency-tree-based intermediate representation that uses the question's sentence structure to guide its decomposition into an SQL skeleton for final SQL generation. \textsc{DexterSQL} achieves a higher accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art using both open-source/weight and closed-source/weight models. Particularly, \textsc{DexterSQL}'s shows a high improvement of at least 2.7\% …
