Detecting Schema-Related Logic Bugs in Relational DBMSs via Equivalent Database Construction

Summary: DDLCheck detects schema-related DBMS logic bugs via differential testing: compares results from databases built by complex DDL sequences and equivalent CREATE-only sequences. An optimized DDL exploration found 34 bugs across six DBMSs, including 29 previously unknown. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
