Basic Information

The NL2SQL_Handbook is a continuously updated handbook and curated survey intended to help readers track recent advances in Text-to-SQL (NL2SQL) research and practice. It accompanies the authors' survey paper and tutorial materials and organizes the field into lifecycle stages, module-based methods and research challenges. The repository aggregates a long annotated paper list, benchmark timelines, evaluation metrics, practical guidance for newcomers, tutorial slides and visual diagrams that summarize method evolution. It also points to code and external repositories for model building, fine-tuning and evaluation, and includes dataset analysis code and benchmark reports. The handbook is designed for researchers, practitioners and students who need a structured, up-to-date compendium of methods, datasets, evaluation tools and open problems in the Text-to-SQL area.

App Details

Features
Comprehensive survey organization with chapters on pre-processing, translation methods and post-processing. A large curated paper list and categorized bibliography covering recent Text-to-SQL papers and benchmarks. Visual assets including a river diagram, lifecycle and roadmap diagrams that trace method evolution and decision flows. Benchmark coverage and a timeline plus links to benchmark analysis code housed in src/dataset_analysis and report directories. Practical guidance sections on how to obtain datasets, build LLM-based Text-to-SQL systems with suggested repositories and tooling, and how to evaluate models using collected evaluation metrics and test suites. Lists of related applications and recommended external projects and evaluation tools are provided for adoption and comparison.
Use Cases
The handbook helps researchers by summarizing state-of-the-art methods, open challenges and a prioritized research agenda for Text-to-SQL. It helps practitioners and engineers select datasets, benchmarks and evaluation metrics and provides pointers to model-building toolkits, fine-tuning practices and official test suites for reproducible evaluation. Novices and educators benefit from tutorial slides, a practical guide, a decision-flow roadmap and annotated resources that shorten the learning curve. The collected paper catalog, benchmark timeline and dataset analysis artifacts support meta-analysis, literature reviews and benchmarking efforts. Curated lists of related applications and external repos enable rapid prototyping and comparison of production and research systems.
