Yeah, we've been working on this problem a good bit and I think text-to-sql is a dead-end for analytical questions. We (https://www.definite.app/) ended up abandoning text-to-sql in favor of answering questions with a semantic layer (which LLM's are far more effective against). https://www.loom.com/share/a0d3c0e273004d7982b2aed24628ef40

We ultimately generate SQL, but the LLM doesn't write SQL, the semantic layer does.
