Memory Architectures for Multi-Turn Text-to-SQL: A Benchmark and Empirical Study

arXiv:2605.26394v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-turn Text-to-SQL is central to enterprise analytics yet remains predominantly evaluated in single-turn settings. We introduce EnterpriseMem-Bench, a multi-turn Text-to-SQL benchmark of 300 sessions and 1,400 turns built programmatically from three enterprise domains (BIRD financial, SEC EDGAR, Northwind), with deterministic ground truth and per-turn memory-critical annotation. We evaluate five frontier models -- GPT-5 mini, GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Sonnet 4.6, and Opus 4.6 -- across five memory conditions enabling a three-way ablation is

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of advanced large language models necessitates more complex evaluation benchmarks reflective of real-world enterprise use cases, addressing a current gap in assessment for multi-turn interactions.

Why it’s important

Improved multi-turn Text-to-SQL capabilities are critical for enhancing enterprise analytics, making data more accessible and valuable through natural language interfaces, impacting productivity across various sectors.

What changes

The introduction of EnterpriseMem-Bench provides a standardized, rigorous evaluation method for memory architectures in multi-turn Text-to-SQL, pushing AI models towards more practical and robust performance in complex business analytics.
