QueryBrew: System-Agnostic SQL-to-SQL Query Optimization
Summary: QueryBrew decouples optimization from database engines via SQL-to-SQL rewriting: Umbra optimizes arbitrary queries and emits operator-oriented SQL. It transfers advanced unnesting, simplification, and join ordering to PostgreSQL, DuckDB, ClickHouse, and SQL Server without engine changes. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
