ATLAS: a Small but Complete SQL Extension for Data Mining and Data Streams

Summary: ATLAS makes SQL a complete application language by letting users define aggregates and table functions directly in SQL, yielding Turing-complete support for data mining and streaming queries. Combines query rewriting, optimization, and stream management. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
