Towards Practical Differential Privacy for SQL Queries

Summary: Elastic sensitivity, a scalable upper bound on local sensitivity for SQL queries with equijoins, enables practical DP. FLEX, an end-to-end DP system for real-world SQL workloads, with negligible overhead and DB compatibility, validated on 8.1M queries. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
