Text-to-SQL Evaluation Pipeline

Overview

This repository implements a Text-to-SQL evaluation pipeline using the OpenAI API. The system is designed for the banking domain, where strict business rules and deterministic SQL generation are required.

Key goals:

  • Translate natural language questions into valid SQLite SQL queries
  • Enforce domain-specific constraints via prompt engineering
  • Benchmark model outputs using multiple evaluation metrics

Key Features

Important: The existing MyModel class and its formatting are kept exactly as-is.
This project does not modify, refactor, or reformat the demo code. The README only documents how the current implementation works.

  • The MyModel class structure, method names, and prompt formatting remain unchanged
  • No code auto-formatting or refactoring is applied
  • All behavior described below reflects the original demo code

Key Features

  • Deterministic SQL generation (temperature = 0)
  • Strong prompt constraints (no markdown, no explanations, SQL only)
  • Banking-specific metric grouping and unit conversion logic
  • Multi-metric evaluation for both syntactic and semantic quality

Prompt Design

System Prompt Responsibilities

The system prompt enforces the following rules:

  • Always perform an INNER JOIN between system_data and branch
  • Always SELECT the following columns:
    • system_data.data_code
    • system_data.year
    • system_data.branch_id
    • branch.name
    • system_data.value
  • SQL keywords must be UPPERCASE
  • Text filters must use LIKE '%keyword%'
  • Vietnamese location names must use exact accents
  • Output SQL only (no markdown, no explanations)

Metric Grouping Logic

Metrics are classified by metric_code prefix:

Group Description
A Inbound metrics (MET_A_%)
B Outbound metrics (MET_B_%)
C Stock / snapshot metrics (MET_C_%)
D Exposure / obligation metrics
E Resource mobilization metrics
F Ratio & efficiency metrics

Unit Conversion Rule

  • Stored unit: Million VND
  • If the question mentions "Billion VND", multiply value by 1000

Example Input (Schema)

CREATE TABLE entity_a (
    id INTEGER,
    group_id INTEGER,
    org_id INTEGER,
    code VARCHAR(100),
    name VARCHAR(255),
    attr_1 VARCHAR(255),
    attr_2 VARCHAR(255),
    attr_3 TEXT
);

CREATE TABLE entity_b (
    id INTEGER,
    group_id INTEGER,
    entity_a_id INTEGER,
    time_key INTEGER,
    metric_name VARCHAR(255),
    metric_code VARCHAR(100),
    metric_value REAL,
    metric_unit VARCHAR(100)
);

Evaluation Metrics

Evaluation results are printed at the very top of the output:

Label Value
rouge 0.96
meteor 0.95
binary 0.65
llm-as-a-judge 0.82

Metric Definitions

  • ROUGE: Token-level overlap between generated and reference SQL
  • METEOR: Semantic similarity with synonym awareness
  • Binary Match: Exact string match (0 or 1)
  • LLM-as-a-Judge: LLM-based holistic judgment of correctness

Full Demo Code (Kept Exactly As-Is)

The following is the original demo code, included verbatim for clarity and ease of understanding. No refactoring, no reformatting, no behavioral changes have been applied.

You are a problem solving model working on task_description XML block:

### Input:
- Schema: Table definitions in SQL DDL format.
- Relationships: Key linking logic between tables (system_data.branch_id = branch.id).
- Data Content Context:
    Indicator_Categories:
      Group_A:
        description: Primary metrics – inbound type

          - metric_code LIKE 'MET_A_%'

  - Unit Logic: {Which dmain} data is stored in 'Triệu VND'. If the Question mentions 'Tỷ', multiply the value by 1000.
- Entities: Extracted key information including data_code, year, and branch filtering criteria.
### Rules:
1. ALWAYS perform an INNER JOIN between system_data and branch on system_data.branch_id = branch.id.
2. ALWAYS SELECT system_data.data_code, system_data.year, system_data.branch_id, branch.name, system_data.value.
3. Use exact Vietnamese accents for location values.
4. Use LIKE '%keyword%' for text matching.
5. Use UPPERCASE for SQL keywords.
6. Output ONLY the SQL query. No explanations or markdown blocks.</task_description>

How to Run

python main.py \
  --question "<QUESTION_TEXT>" \
  --api-key "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY" \
  --model "gpt-4.1-mini"

Important Notes

  • temperature = 0 ensures reproducible results
  • Function calling is intentionally avoided to prevent JSON-wrapped SQL
  • The prompt is optimized for SQLite dialect

Possible Extensions

  • Multi-year queries using IN or ranges
  • Queries combining multiple metric groups
  • Execution-based evaluation (SQL result comparison)
  • Support for additional SQL dialects (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
