COAL-SQL: Coverage-Guided Augmentation and Failure-Driven Learning for Text-to-SQL Post-Training

Qifeng Cai, Xuanguang Pan, Hao Liang +2

Text-to-SQL translates natural-language questions into executable SQL queries, but open-source large language models still require task-specific post-training for complex, real-wor…
