The Flatter, the Better: Query Compilation Based on the Flattening Transformation
Summary: Flattening-based query compiler translates nested iterations into lifted primitives for data-parallel backends. Haskell-embedded frontend demonstrates expressiveness for ordered data, grouping, and aggregation, with PostgreSQL and VectorWise backends and broad engine applicability beyond shredding.
