Q*cert: A Platform for Implementing and Verifying Query Compilers
Summary: Q*cert is a Coq-based platform for specifying, verifying, and implementing query compilers with SQL/OQL support and codegen to Spark/Cloudant. It introduces an environment-aware extension of nested relational algebra, with extensible optimizers and a web UI to explore compilation strategies. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
