让AI写SQL更聪明：用新奖励机制解决反馈稀疏问题

Agentic Reinforcement Learning (RL) shows promise for complex tasks, but Text-to-SQL remains mostly restricted to single-turn paradigms. A primary bottleneck is the credit assignment problem. In traditional paradigms, rewards are determined solely by the final-turn feedback, which ignores the intermediate process and leads to ambiguous credit evaluation. To address this, we propose Agentic SQL, a framework featuring a universal two-tiered reward mechanism designed to provide effective trajectory-level evaluation and dense step-level signals. First, we introduce Aggregated Trajectory Reward (ATR) to resolve multi-turn credit assignment. Using an asymmetric transition matrix, ATR aggregates process-oriented scores to incentivize continuous improvement. Leveraging Lyapunov stability theory, we prove ATR acts as an energy dissipation operator, guaranteeing a cycle-free policy and monotonic convergence. Second, Column-Set Matching Reward (CSMR) provides immediate step-level rewards to mitigate sparsity. By executing queries at each turn, CSMR converts binary (0/1) feedback into dense [0, 1] signals based on partial correctness. Evaluations on BIRD show a 5% gain over binary-reward GRPO. Notably, our approach outperforms SOTA Arctic-Text2SQL-R1-7B on BIRD and Spider 2.0 using identical models, propelling Text-to-SQL toward a robust multi-turn agent paradigm.
