Dscaler: Synthetically Scaling A Given Relational Database

Summary: Dscaler enables nuDSP with per-table scale factors and a correlation database for fine-grained per-tuple PK/FK correlations. Experiments on real and synthetic data show higher similarity to D across tuple counts, FK distributions, and joins. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
