SNAILS: Schema Naming Assessments for Improved LLM-Based SQL Inference
Summary: Proposes schema naturalness as a data-centric lever to improve NL-to-SQL with LLMs. Introduces SNAILS: real-world schemas, labeled NL-SQL pairs, an identifier naturalness metric with automated modifiers, and cross-LLM evidence plus natural-views for NL-to-SQL workflows.
