Query Shredding: Efficient Relational Evaluation of Queries over Nested Multisets
Summary: Proposes query shredding to evaluate nested queries by rewriting them into a fixed number of SQL queries with multiset semantics. Unlike prior work, it emits a SQL:1999 query directly from a nested-query normal form and shows competitive performance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
