Summary Graphs for Relational Database Schemas
Summary: Introduces summary graphs that extract the most informative tables and join paths relevant to user-specified query tables under size constraints. An information-theoretic objective, transitive-closure metaedges, and an NP-hard ILP formulation enable compact, high-quality schema overviews. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
