Database Gyms
Summary: Introduces a "database gym": an integrated environment with a unified API of pluggable components that uses the DBMS itself to simulate workloads and collect training data exposing workload trends and cross-subsystem interactions. Outlines methods to meet DBMS-simulation challenges—performance, fidelity, and DBMS-generated hints—to enable holistic ML-driven tuning and accelerate model training and evaluation.
