Text-to-SQL
Text-to-SQL is a natural language processing technique that automatically converts user queries expressed in natural language into Structured Query Language (SQL) statements, enabling non-technical users to interact directly with relational databases. The technology combines semantic understanding, database schema parsing, and language generation capabilities, and is widely applied in intelligent question answering, data analysis assistance, and enterprise data query systems.

Databricks Genie falls within the category of Text-to-SQL or the broader natural language interface (NL2Data) technology; its underlying logic is to use a large language model to translate natural language questions into structured query statements and execute them on a data warehouse or data lake.
Genie combines "Text-to-SQL" and "Text-to-Insight" capabilities in its technical architecture, converting natural language questions into SQL and retrieving results from the underlying data lake or data warehouse.
The core challenge of natural language data query tools lies in accurately understanding ambiguous terms in business contexts, where the same term may have different definitions across different departments.
The core mechanism by which AI agents process data is converting natural language questions into SQL queries or API calls, a process known as Text-to-SQL or NL2SQL.
Research shows that Text-to-SQL accuracy on real enterprise databases is far lower than on standardized benchmarks, with non-standard field naming and missing business semantics being one of the primary causes.
The implementation path for applying LLMs to structured data queries typically involves first translating natural language into structured query statements (such as SQL or API calls), and then having the LLM semantically interpret the results—a path also known as Text-to-SQL or NL2Query.
Natural language query (Text-to-SQL) functionality introduces new attack vectors such as prompt injection and indirect data leakage.
Text-to-SQL technology has evolved from rule-based approaches, to Seq2Seq models (such as IRNet), to pre-trained model fine-tuning (such as BRIDGE and PICARD), and then to LLM prompt engineering.
