Randomized Algorithms For Optimizing Large Join Queries

Summary: Randomized search strategies (SA, II) optimize large project–select–join queries. Two-Phase Optimization (SA+II) improves quality and runtime; SA more often yields lower-cost plans, explained by a cup-shaped cost landscape with a shallow bottom. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
