Does FutureSmart Database Agent handle wording that doesn't match stored values?

FutureSmart Database Agent failed to handle wording that did not match stored values. It answered with no results and treated that emptiness as a fact about the stored orders; its SQL only searched literal variants of the user's wording, not the stored payment value. The evidence also notes a matching gift-card value exists, with 2 orders totaling $984.06.

The test case

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

Category asked by the user's synonymFailEvidence
What we sent

“Show me all orders paid with a gift voucher.”

What the tool returned

Orders Paid with a Gift Voucher The query returned no results, which means there are currently no orders in the database where the payment method indicates a gift voucher (e.g., contains "gift_voucher," "gift voucher," or "voucher"). If you believe there should be such orders, you might want to verify the payment method values in the orders table or broaden the search criteria.

If you believe there should be such orders, you might want to verify the payment method values in the orders table or broaden the search criteria.

Why this result

It had to return the matching orders for the user's wording. Instead, it told the user there were no results and treated that emptiness as fact. The SQL only matched literal spellings of the phrase, while the matching value is gift-card, with 2 orders totaling $984.06.

Also observed on this row

Hands back the lookup. The answer ends by telling the user to verify the payment method values instead of finding the stored value itself.

Single table read. Only one table read appears before the query, with no distinct-value check first.

Limitations of this result

The capture does not show the stored payment values, so the matching gift-card orders and their $984.06 total are not visible in it.

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 row says which 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 row says what's missing.

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.
