Lightweight Graphical Models for Selectivity Estimation Without Independence Assumptions
Summary: Proposes a selectivity model that drops independence assumptions and factorizes joint distribution into 2D factors via graphical models. Implemented in PostgreSQL with optimizations, achieving order-of-magnitude gains in selectivity within tens-of-ms. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
