Automatic Database Management System Tuning Through Large-scale Machine Learning

Summary: Automated DBMS tuning via large-scale ML (OtterTune) to select impactful knobs, map unseen workloads to known ones, and recommend settings. Evaluated on three DBMSs; achieves configurations as good as or better than existing tools or human experts. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
