q857 NOT_EQUAL

The question

Give the coordinate position for Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

the hint the set supplies: coordinate position/location refers to lat, lng; Abu Dhabi Grand Prix refers to races.name = 'Abu Dhabi Grand Prix'

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

read by hand, 2026-09-04: B harmless: one distinct row repeated; DISTINCT added by the prediction; a list under twice the answer with every row present

one distinct coordinate row repeated, once per race

a maintainer's reading of this question, out of classification.json, copied from plans/reports/prediction-mode-260904-real-predictions/classification.json. It is not a verdict and nothing above it was computed from it.

The statements

gold

SELECT DISTINCT T1.lat, T1.lng FROM circuits AS T1 INNER JOIN races AS T2 ON T2.circuitID = T1.circuitId WHERE T2.name = 'Abu Dhabi Grand Prix'

this statement states no ordering of its own

sha256:79ecc4384a2723641ed8390175bbdf60ab4e67a27b0c71b8779441879e731f4a

second

SELECT circuits.lat, circuits.lng
FROM circuits
JOIN races ON circuits.circuitid = races.circuitid
WHERE races.name = 'Abu Dhabi Grand Prix'

this statement states no ordering of its own

sha256:be4cb1128cd3e5bdfc06358170838c94b8c44c926967ca15e0fdac333b8dbfe2

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, 0 rows

from counterexample.json, 0 rows, up to 25 shown per side

side	latfloat4	lngfloat4
no rows

in the prediction, not in gold, 8 rows

from counterexample.json, 8 rows, up to 25 shown per side, 1 on this page

side	times	latfloat4	lngfloat4
second	8	24.4672	54.6031

What the benchmark would have said

BIRD's own check: 1

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: 9
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: false
gold_rows: 1
second_rows: 9
gold_columns: 2
second_columns: 2

the class: multiplicity

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.

The gold returned 1 rows and the prediction 9. 1 rows occur in both results at least once.

gold_types: ["float4", "float4"]
second_types: ["float4", "float4"]

set_equal: true

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

the statement states no top level ORDER BY

what it measured

{
  "heuristic": true,
  "reason": "the statement states no top level ORDER BY"
}

arbitrary-cut not applicable

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

the statement states no LIMIT

what it measured

{
  "heuristic": true,
  "reason": "the statement states no LIMIT"
}

not-a-function-of-the-data quiet

rerun over the same rows in another physical order this statement gives another answer, so its result depends on how the rows are stored and not only on the data
