Anarchy in the Database: A Survey and Evaluation of Database Management System Extensibility
Summary: Taxonomy and cross-DBMS evaluation of extensibility mechanisms (Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Redis, DuckDB) plus an automated static/dynamic toolkit to profile extension integration. Empirical analysis of 400+ PostgreSQL extensions finds 16.8% inter-extension incompatibility linked to extension complexity and implementation. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
