Why RAG Fails for Structured Data: Text2SQL approach for structured data

While LLMs excel at handling unstructured data through RAG, structured data like SQL tables and CSV files requires a different approach where schema relationships and precise queries matter more than semantic similarity. This talk demonstrates building a Data Analytics Agent using Python that translates natural language into executable Pandas or SQL code. We'll cover why chunk-based RAG fails for tabular data, how to architect Text-2-SQL systems with LLMs, and practical evaluation methods for these workflows.
