NoDB: Efficient Query Execution on Raw Data Files

Summary: NoDB enables in-situ querying of raw data, avoiding loading by making raw files first-class in the engine. Adaptive indexing with caching cuts parsing and type-conversion costs; PostgresRaw delivers load-free queries with strong PostgreSQL performance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
