Abstract

Text-to-SQL technology has evolved rapidly, with diverse academic methods achieving impressive results. However, deploying these techniques in real-world systems remains challenging due to limited integration tools. Despite these advances, we introduce Squrve, a unified, modular, and extensive Text-to-SQL framework designed to bring together research advances and real-world applications. Squrve first establishes a universal execution paradigm that standardizes invocation interfaces, then proposes a multi-actor collaboration mechanism based on seven abstracted effective atomic actor components. Experiments on widely adopted benchmarks demonstrate that the collaborative workflows consistently outperform the original individual methods, thereby opening up a new effective avenue for tackling complex real-world queries.
