Doc2DB-Bench is introduced, a benchmark for Document-to-Database construction, containing 203 long-document instances across 42 schemas and seven domain groups, with 117 entity tables, 132 relationship tables, 7,341 rows, and 41,935 cells, which provides a testbed for reliable, auditable, and relationally faithful LLM-based data systems.
Abstract
Practical AI systems increasingly need to turn long, heterogeneous documents into queryable relational databases, not isolated spreadsheets. In domains such as finance, healthcare, education, transportation, and enterprise operations, downstream workflows rely on normalized schemas, entity identities, keys, cross-table relationships, and integrity constraints for analytics, compliance, auditing, and SQL-backed decision making. Existing Document-to-Table benchmarks are insufficient for this setting: flattening evidence into single tables can duplicate entities, obscure many-to-many relationships, create sparse records, and avoid testing whether extracted facts form a valid database instance. This creates an urgent need to evaluate document understanding as database construction rather than field extraction. We introduce Doc2DB-Bench, a benchmark for Document-to-Database construction, containing 203 long-document instances across 42 schemas and seven domain groups, with 117 entity tables, 132 relationship tables, 7,341 rows, and 41,935 cells. Built through a controllable DB-to-Doc synthesis pipeline and organized by a taxonomy of intra-table extraction and inter-table reasoning, the generated documents undergo authenticity verification, proving indistinguishable from real-world references. Doc2DB-Bench thus provides a testbed for reliable, auditable, and relationally faithful LLM-based data systems. The benchmark is publicly available at https://github.com/SetonLiang/Doc2DB-Bench.
LlamaExtract Agentic Plus ranks first on all three metrics, with accuracy comparable to coding agents at a fraction of the cost, and is the first to score value accuracy, record completeness at scale, grounding, and measured cost together.

Text-to-SQL benchmarks ship schemas whose column names already say what the columns mean. Production warehouses are the inverse: cryptic identifiers, partial or absent documentation. We address the problem they pose first: recovering what columns and values mean from the data itself. Rosetta places a language model inside a verification harness: a deterministic profiler extracts structural evidence (value fingerprints, a 26-pattern library, checksum verdicts), the model proposes semantics conditioned on that evidence, and every fact carries provenance and a confidence bounded by its evidence class. Against human documentation on 680 paired columns across eleven BIRD databases, identifiers destroyed, the harness delivers metadata that is 0.475 accurate on the 42% of columns it commits to, against 0.223 on 94% for the same model used directly. Restricted to the 283 columns where both arms speak, the harness writes no better prose than the model alone; the gain is selection: deterministic evidence governs whether the system speaks (coverage +0.257 [0.128, 0.378]), not how well. The deterministic layer is a competence detector, not a competence amplifier. A backbone swap bounds the claim: the prose finding reproduces, but prompt-requested abstention does not transfer; a code-enforced commit gate (predictions registered first; measured on a third backbone and held-out databases) makes no-evidence coverage 0.000 on every backbone. On a blind i2b2 clinical warehouse Rosetta decodes 95.5% of 134 real ICD-9 codes from values alone and abstains on all 44 NDC drug codes. The catalog supports calibrated abstention at query time: under full schema opacity a naive translator falls from 0.92 to 0.42 execution accuracy while our gate answers at 86% accuracy over 59% coverage. Negative results are reported plainly, including that our own authority ladder is not the mechanism behind the headline.
A design-oriented framework, an evaluation protocol, and a set of open problems for governed structured-data agents are proposed for retrieval semantics, authorization, intent recognition, entity resolution, evaluation, failure modes, and latency.
This work proposes MDB-Link, a hierarchical schema-linking framework that retrieves question-relevant columns from a global index, aggregates retrieval evidence to shortlist databases, and uses a budget-aware large language model (LLM) for database reranking, table selection, and column grounding.

Results indicate that LLM-augmented analytics on a converged Oracle 26AI platform can reduce average analytical query resolution time by approximately 60 percent relative to traditional BI report cycles, achieve semantic retrieval precision above 90 percent for enterprise knowledge corpora, and reduce generative output hallucination rates by more than half when grounding is enforced through in-database retrieval.
