Design and Implementation of the Glue-Nail Database System
Summary: Declarative Nail plus procedural Glue compile to IGlue, enabling end-to-end applications from a unified stack. Nail leverages magic-sets variants and well-founded models; Glue provides static optimizations; IGlue runs with a runtime adaptive optimizer; three optimizers synergize, with Glue-Nail largely complete and tested on representative workloads.
