# Spider Databases (SQLite)

A re-host of the **SQLite databases** from the [Spider](https://yale-lily.github.io/spider)
text-to-SQL benchmark (Yu et al., 2018), packaged as `spider_data.zip` so it can be pinned by
commit SHA and verified by checksum.

The standard `xlangai/spider` parquet ships only the question/SQL pairs — **not** the databases
needed to *execute* queries. This repo fills that gap for reproducible execution-based evaluation.

- **Contents:** `spider_data/database/<db_id>/<db_id>.sqlite`, `spider_data/tables.json`, and the
  split files (`dev.json`, `train_spider.json`, gold SQL, etc.).
- **Provenance:** downloaded from the canonical Yale distribution
  (Google Drive id `1403EGqzIDoHMdQF4c9Bkyl7dZLZ5Wt6J`).
- **Integrity:** `spider_data.zip` SHA256 =
  `00636695dabed6b5f4b8328a16b13e069a2f16591d5efcce57660669c85b121b`.
