Project
Autonomous Index Tuning
Index tuning has been crucial for database performance. State-of-the-art index tuners rely on query optimizer’s cost estimates to search for the index configuration with the largest estimated execution cost improvement. Due to well-known limitations in…
Project
Aggify
Aggify is a technique for optimizing loops over query results that overcomes these overheads, completely eliminating the loop by rewriting the query to use this generated aggregate.
Tool
ALEX
ALEX is a ML-enhanced range index, similar in functionality to a B+ Tree. Our implementation is a near drop-in replacement for std::map or std::multimap.
