ReToolSQL: Agentic Reinforcement Learning for Robust Text-to-SQL

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 28, 2026 · UTC

Recent work has shown that reinforcement learning from execution feedback can substantially improve text-to-SQL performance, often enabling smaller models to match or exceed much larger systems. However, most existing approaches treat SQL generation as a single-turn task, limiting the model's ability to recover from errors through iterative refinement. We present ReToolSQL, a two-stage training framework for text-to-SQL that combines (i) a supervised warm-start on rejection-sampled reasoning traces with (ii) agentic reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) over multi-turn tool-use trajectories.
