q82 NOT_EQUAL, minidev-pg phi-3-medium-128k-instruct-1

The question

What is the grade span offered in the school with the highest longitude?

the hint the set supplies: the highest longitude refers to the school with the maximum absolute longitude value.

NOT_EQUAL states that these two statements disagree on this data under this rule. It does not state which of them is wrong.

The statements

gold

SELECT GSoffered FROM schools ORDER BY ABS(longitude) DESC NULLS LAST LIMIT 1

abs(longitude): descending, nulls last

sha256:d4d87fb991696c450e12529c6c599b392de69debe7b966d28ef8cccdb2210f15

second

SELECT schools.gsoffered
FROM schools
ORDER BY schools.longitude DESC
LIMIT 1;

schools.longitude: descending, nulls default

sha256:ad3cdf827326e0095f8ec41c8da708e1998813bd07b0af516c415d3f697cd2ce

The marked tokens are where the two texts differ. Two statements that differ everywhere can return the same rows, and two that differ in one token can return other rows; the verdict above is read off the results.

The rows they differ in

in gold, not in the prediction, 1 row

from counterexample.json, 1 row, up to 25 shown per side

side	gsofferedtext
gold	K-8

in the prediction, not in gold, 1 row

from counterexample.json, 1 row, up to 25 shown per side

side	gsofferedtext
second	NULL

What the benchmark would have said

BIRD's own check: 0

set(second_rows) == set(gold_rows), float4/float8 cells as Python float as psycopg2 returns them, numeric as Decimal

https://github.com/bird-bench/mini_dev/blob/main/evaluation/evaluation_ex.py

gold_rows: 1
second_rows: 1
gold_distinct_rows: 1
second_distinct_rows: 1

the test-suite check: 0

result_eq: equal row counts and equal column counts, each row unordered as a quick rejection, then the two equal as a list when the gold text holds ORDER BY and as a multiset otherwise, under some permutation of the columns; DISTINCT is not stripped and re-executed, and the cells are PostgreSQL's as psycopg2 returns them

ruiqi-zhong/test-suite-sql-eval, exec_eval.py, result_eq, at commit 48cb78ec: https://github.com/ruiqi-zhong/test-suite-sql-eval/blob/48cb78ecf7f610620206283846c76751b18a1326/exec_eval.py

order_matters: true
gold_rows: 1
second_rows: 1

the class: other

The class states what makes these two results unequal under this rule, read off the two results and nothing else. It does not state which of the two statements is wrong.

gold_types: ["text"]
second_types: ["text"]
multiset_equal: false
set_equal: false
order_equal: false

The probes

A smell is a mechanical reason to read this gold statement again. It is a heuristic: it does not state that the statement is wrong, and a maintainer decides.

ordering-over-numeric-text not applicable

this statement orders by a text column holding only numbers, and ordering it as a number gives a different answer, so the gold may be sorting 9.5 above 10

no ORDER BY key resolves to a text column

what it measured

  "heuristic": true,

  "keys": [
    {

      "not_applicable": "the key is an expression and not a column"
    }
  ]
}

arbitrary-cut fired

this statement cuts its result at a LIMIT that does not decide which rows come back, so a different but equally correct statement can return other rows and score zero
