An Observation on Database Buffering Performance Metrics
Summary: Uses I/Os as the proper buffering metric, not pages. Proposes a new buffering policy that outperforms classical nested-loop join policies, derives hashing-join buffering strategies, and notes implications for selections and query optimization. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
