SQLBarber: A System Leveraging Large Language Models to Generate Customized and Realistic SQL Workloads

Summary: SQLBarber uses LLMs to synthesize realistic, customizable SQL workloads from natural-language constraints, avoiding hand-written templates. It couples self-correcting template generation with Bayesian cost targeting to match production-derived cardinality/plan-cost distributions and scales to large benchmark synthesis.
