Towards a Converged Relational-Graph Optimization Framework

Summary: RelGo: a converged relational-graph optimizer for SPJM queries (SQL/PGQ) that adds a graph-pattern matcher to SPJ. Shows graph-agnostic plans miss graph-specific gains; on DuckDB, RelGo yields ~21.9x speedups on standard benchmarks. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
