Hit the Gym: Accelerating Query Execution to Efficiently Bootstrap Behavior Models for Self-Driving Database Management Systems
Summary: Boot accelerates behavior-model training for self-driving DBMSs via macro/micro acceleration: approximate runtime telemetry, altered query semantics, and skipped repetitive executions. In PostgreSQL, it cuts data-collection time up to 268× with modest accuracy loss. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
