Efficient SQL execution heavily depends on the query optimizer’s ability to find efficient query plans. Existing query optimizers differ widely in their capabilities, leading to significant differences in exe- cution complexity across many queries. In this demonstration, we present QueryBrew, a system-agnostic query optimization service that decouples the optimizer from the database engine ...
