Configuration-Parametric Query Optimization for Physical Design Tuning

Summary: Configuration-Parametric Query Optimization for automated physical design tuning enables one optimization per query, yielding a compact plan-space across configurations. Speeds up optimization 30x–450x with minimal quality loss, removing bottlenecks and enabling richer tuning. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
