Summary Graphs for Relational Database Schemas

Summary: Proposes an adaptive schema summary: an optimal summary graph selecting relevant tables and joins for a query set. Introduces an information-theoretic measure for join edges, supports metaedges to trim output, and solves NP-hard problems by integer programming. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
