Database-Agnostic Workload Management

Summary: Database‑agnostic system that frames SQL workload tasks as query‑labeling and decouples learned query representation from labeling to support multi‑tenant, multi‑dialect platforms. Replaces per‑dialect feature engineering with learned SQL embeddings, enabling off‑the‑shelf ML and empirically outperforming handcrafted features on index sampling, security user labeling, and error prediction.
