Bespoke-Card: Why Tune When You Can Generate? Synthesizing Workload-Specific Cardinality Estimators

Johannes Wehrstein, Anton Winter, Timo Eckmann +1

Cardinality estimators are built to support arbitrary schemas and workloads, forcing them to rely on generic statistics even when the schema and workload is known in advance, leavi…

Bespoke OLAP: Synthesizing Workload-Specific One-size-fits-one Database Engines

Johannes Wehrstein, Timo Eckmann, Matthias Jasny +1

Modern OLAP engines are designed to support arbitrary analytical workloads, but this generality incurs structural overhead, including runtime schema interpretation, indirection lay…

How Good are Learned Cost Models, Really? Insights from Query Optimization Tasks

Roman Heinrich, Manisha Luthra, Johannes Wehrstein +2

Traditionally, query optimizers rely on cost models to choose the best execution plan from several candidates, making precise cost estimates critical for efficient query execution.…
