Workload Optimization using SharedDB

Summary: SharedDB executes SQL operators in batches with cross-query sharing across all running queries, instead of one-at-a-time. It enables sharing without requiring common subexpressions, reducing inter-query interference and handling diverse workloads with higher throughput. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
