Quantifying TPC-H Choke Points and Their Optimizations

Summary: Systematic analysis of TPC-H choke points; quantifies impact of optimizations across eleven points. Highlights flattening subqueries and predicate placement as most impactful; plan choice drives Q2, Q17, Q21 while engine efficiency dominates Q1, Q13, Q18. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
