Just-in-time compilation for SQL query processing
Summary: Examines JIT compilation of SQL queries into native code as a competitive alternative to interpretation across the full query processing stack. Frames the approach with compiler-tech analogies, surveys the design space, and outlines open data-management research questions for runtime code generation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
