Robust Query Processing through Progressive Optimization

Summary: Progressive query optimization (POP) detects cardinality errors during execution and re-optimizes plans in a commercial DBMS. CHECK operators compute a validity range via a sensitivity analysis; when violated, re-optimization uses partial results. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
