DBToaster: Higher-order Delta Processing for Dynamic, Frequently Fresh Views

Summary: Introduces viewlet transforms: recursive higher-order finite differencing that materializes a query and its deltas for mutually incremental maintenance of classical SQL views under high-rate updates. Combined with cost-based optimization and compilation, it enables aggressive parallelism and tens of thousands of refreshes/s. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
