AI Meets AI: Leveraging Query Executions to Improve Index Recommendations

Summary: Replaces optimizer-cost plan comparison in index tuning with an ML classifier predicting cheaper plans across configs. Integrates with advanced tuners, delivering up to 5x fewer errors on benchmarks and real workloads, reducing cost regressions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
