"I wish I were over there": Distributed Execution Protocols for Data Definition in R*

Summary: R* introduces distributed execution facilities for multi-site DDL and access control in a cooperative yet autonomous database environment. DDL on remote operands orchestrates coordinated, site-local processing, minimizing intersite traffic by engaging only sites that hold the operands. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
