A Crash Course on Database Queries
Summary: Treats runtime errors in complex database queries as "crashes" and aims to prevent or predict them without losing expressiveness. Adapts programming-language techniques—type systems and reflection—to the query setting, proposing query-specific methods and new questions. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
