QueryCraft — Phi-3 Mini Fine-Tuned for Text-to-SQL
Fine-tuned Phi-3 Mini 3.8B using QLoRA on 76,000 Text-to-SQL examples. Converts natural language questions into valid SQL queries.
Evaluation Results
Evaluated on 50 held-out validation examples not seen during training.

# SELECT AVG(salary) FROM employees GROUP BY departmentPrompt Format
The model was trained on the Alpaca instruction format: System: You are a SQL expert. Given a database schema and a natural language question, generate a valid SQL query that answers the question. Output only the SQL query with no explanation. Schema: {CREATE TABLE statements} Question: {natural language question} SQL: {model generates SQL here}
Training Details
- Dataset: b-mc2/sql-create-context — 78,577 examples with inline CREATE TABLE schemas
- Train/Val split: 76,577 train / 2,000 validation (seeded shuffle)
- Quantization: 4-bit NF4 with double quantization (bitsandbytes)
- LoRA target modules: qproj, kproj, vproj, oproj, gateproj, upproj, down_proj
- Optimizer: AdamW with cosine LR schedule, warmup_ratio=0.05
- Effective batch size: 16 (batchsize=4, gradientaccumulation=4)
- Packing: Enabled — short examples concatenated to fill 256-token sequences
Why the Base Model Scored 0% Exact Match
The base Phi-3 Mini, without fine-tuning, consistently wrapped SQL output in markdown code fences (` `sql ... ` `) and appended semicolons. This formatting breaks exact match evaluation even when the SQL logic is correct. Fine-tuning on consistently formatted examples eliminated this entirely.
Limitations
- Optimised for single-table and simple multi-table queries
- Schema must be provided as CREATE TABLE SQL statements
- Best results on English-language questions
- May struggle with highly complex nested subqueries
