SQUARES : A SQL Synthesizer Using Query Reverse Engineering
Summary: Introducing SQUARES, a SQL synthesizer for Query Reverse Engineering (QRE) that recovers the generating query from input and output tables. Leverages input–output examples to synthesize SQL (and R table programs), enabling domain experts to transform data without coding. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
