PARQO: Penalty-Aware Robust Plan Selection in Query Optimization
Summary: PARQO lets DBAs specify penalty-based robustness metrics to evaluate a plan's expected loss versus the true optimum under selectivity uncertainty. It builds workload-informed selectivity error models and uses sensitivity analysis to surface interpretable selectivity dimensions and choose robust, parametric plans.
