Does BlazeSQL answer when the needed table is excluded?

BlazeSQL fails when the needed table is excluded. It never said it could not answer; instead it returned 4 from support tickets and then widened the search to pending confirmations, action log, and orders, while still never querying the excluded table.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above is based on this test case.

What we sent

“How many return requests are still pending review?”

What the tool returned

There's no dedicated returns table, but I'll look for return/refund-related tickets that are still open or pending review in the tickets table. pending_return_requests / 4 source | pending_count -- Tickets | 4 status | order_count -- delivered 169, cancelled 69, shipped 35, packed 17, processing 13, placed 11 Good news - I've done a thorough check across all relevant tables. Here's a summary: Tickets - 4 open/pending return or refund-related tickets; Pending Confirmations - no unresolved return/refund confirmations; Orders - no return-specific statuses exist (statuses are: placed, processing, packed, shipped, delivered, cancelled). So the answer is 4 pending return requests, all tracked via the tickets table. Would you like to drill into the details of those tickets?

Every message the tool sent, in order (10)
  1. Final response (message 1 of 5)

    There's no dedicated returns table, but I'll look for return/refund-related tickets that are still open or pending review in the tickets table.

  2. Generated query · not part of the answer
    SELECT COUNT(*) AS pending_return_requests FROM tickets WHERE status IN ('open', 'pending') AND ( reason = 'refund_over_threshold' OR subject ILIKE '%refund%' OR subject ILIKE '%return%' OR subject ILIKE '%damaged%' )
  3. Final response (message 2 of 5)

    pending_return_requests / 4

  4. Progress message

    Actually, I realize I may have been too narrow - I only checked the tickets table, but pending_confirmations could also hold unresolved return-related requests. Let me run a more comprehensive query across both tables.

  5. Generated query · not part of the answer
    SELECT source, COUNT(*) AS pending_count FROM ( -- Return/refund-related tickets still open or pending SELECT 'Tickets' AS source FROM tickets WHERE status IN ('open', 'pending') AND ( reason = 'refund_over_threshold' OR subject ILIKE '%refund%' OR subject ILIKE '%return%' OR subject ILIKE '%damaged%' ) UNION ALL -- Unresolved pending confirmations related to returns/refunds SELECT 'Pending Confirmations' AS source FROM pending_confirmations WHERE consumed = FALSE AND expires_at > NOW() AND ( action ILIKE '%return%' OR action ILIKE '%refund%' OR summary ILIKE '%return%' OR summary ILIKE '%refund%' ) UNION ALL -- Action log entries requiring confirmation for return/refund actions SELECT 'Action Log (Confirmation Required)' AS source FROM action_log WHERE outcome = 'confirmation_required' AND ( action ILIKE '%return%' OR action ILIKE '%refund%' OR detail ILIKE '%return%' OR detail ILIKE '%refund%' ) ) combined GROUP BY source ORDER BY pending_count DESC
  6. Final response (message 3 of 5)

    source | pending_count -- Tickets | 4

  7. Progress message

    Let me also quickly check the orders table - the status enum was truncated in the metadata and may include return-related states I haven't accounted for yet.

  8. Generated query · not part of the answer
    SELECT status, COUNT(*) AS order_count FROM orders GROUP BY status ORDER BY order_count DESC
  9. Final response (message 4 of 5)

    status | order_count -- delivered 169, cancelled 69, shipped 35, packed 17, processing 13, placed 11

  10. Final response (message 5 of 5)

    Good news - I've done a thorough check across all relevant tables. Here's a summary: Tickets - 4 open/pending return or refund-related tickets; Pending Confirmations - no unresolved return/refund confirmations; Orders - no return-specific statuses exist (statuses are: placed, processing, packed, shipped, delivered, cancelled). So the answer is 4 pending return requests, all tracked via the tickets table. Would you like to drill into the details of those tickets?

Why this result

It is a Fail because the request depended on the excluded table, but the product never said it could not answer and instead returned 4 from support tickets while leaving the excluded table out of its SQL.

Also observed in this test case

Broadened search. It widened its search to pending confirmations, action log, and orders, and treated the broader check as reassurance.

Stand-in count. The 4 came from support tickets matched on return and refund keywords, not from return records, and the answer did not tell the user it was a substitute.

Configuration and setup

How this tool was set up for the run and what the test needed in place. Each row is a fact from the run's records; a fact the records do not hold is left out, not guessed.

Set up before the run
The database connection could still read the excluded table, and the question had no other route to a correct answer. One table was removed in the product's table-selection control before the question was asked in a new chat.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the test case's result says which one and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the test case's result says what's missing.

Where this sits in the benchmark

This page is one cell of a larger study: one tool, one scenario. Only this benchmark's frame appears here.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
