BaCon: Efficient Batch Processing of Counting Queries
Summary: BaCon batch-evaluates counting queries without modifying DBMS internals, combining factorized representations with workload-aware domain quantization to avoid massive join materialization. A PostgreSQL client/UDF achieves 2–178× speedups, making learned cardinality-estimator training practical. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 17 2026)
