A Database System with Amnesia
Summary: Introduces "data rotting": a mostly‑knobless DBMS that semi‑autonomously forgets tuples (marks them inactive) to trade retention for bounded cost and interactive response. Empirical study of amnesia scenarios and implementation strategies to guide retrofitting engines with built‑in forgetting policies. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
