Demo of QueryBooster: Supporting Middleware-Based SQL Query Rewriting as a Service

Summary: QueryBooster externalizes SQL rewriting as a cloud middleware service, requiring no application or database changes. A Web interface supports rule-based and example-driven intent specification, while sharing and recommending rewriting knowledge across users. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
