EPSC: Testing Database Management Systems via Equivalent Prepared Statement Construction
Summary: EPSC differentially tests DBMSs by comparing equivalent ordinary and prepared SQL, exposing logic bugs via result inconsistencies. Evaluation across seven mature systems found 52 unique bugs, including cases missed by prior techniques. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 26 2026)
