Approximate Query Processing: Taming the TeraBytes! A Tutorial

Summary: Survey of approximate query processing for terabytes, contrasting online aggregation with precomputed synopses for fast, bounded results. Covers multi-dimensional and join synopses, set-valued queries, AQUA-style rewrite, maintenance, streaming data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
