An Injection with Tree Awareness: Adding Staircase Join to PostgreSQL
Summary: Demonstrates injecting tree awareness into PostgreSQL via staircase join and XPath-accelerator encodings of XML hierarchies. An enhanced PostgreSQL efficiently evaluates XML/XPath queries while preserving XPath semantics, unlike the relational baseline. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
