Snakes on a Plan: Compiling Python Functions into Plain SQL Queries
Summary: ByePy compiles Python functions with arbitrary control flow into plain recursive SQL:1999 queries, allowing a single database query to run the entire function. Single-query execution eliminates Python-DB back-and-forth and yields up to 10x speedups. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
