Selectivity Estimation in Extensible Databases - A Neural Network Approach

Summary: Proposes a neural network-based selectivity estimator for extensible DBs with UDT/UDF predicates (text, spatial, image). Learns initial estimates and progressively refines them from operational data; demonstrates accuracy and integrates into Informix's DBA tool. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
