Qr-Hint: Actionable Hints Towards Correcting Wrong SQL Queries

Summary: Qr-Hint generates actionable repair hints for a wrong SQL query relative to a target query, aiming at semantics-preserving fixes rather than mimicking the target syntax. Key novelty: stepwise, provably correct and locally optimal guidance from the user’s own query, despite SQL equivalence undecidability. (summarized by gpt-5.4-mini on May 24 2026)
