The Query Optimizer in Tandem's new ServerWare SQL Product

Summary: Introduces a top-down, branch-and-bound, cost-based optimizer for Tandem’s ServerWare SQL, replacing NonStop SQL’s bottom-up DP. Gives insight on how rule sets and search-space design shape time/space complexity, contrasting with Volcano/Starburst DP for multi-OS deployment. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
