Is the problem that the antonym is a substring within "without losing the data in the database"? I've seen problems with opposites for LLMs before. If you specify "retaining the data" or "keeping the data" does it get it right?
The problem is that these are fundamentally NOT reasoning systems. Even when contorted into "reasoning" models, these are just stochastic parrots guessing the next words in the hopes that it's the correct reasoning "step" in the context.
No approach is going to meaningfully work here. Fiddling with the prompt may get you better guesses, but they will always be guesses. Even without the antonym it's just a diceroll on whether the model will skip or add a step.
