Cardinality Estimation in DBMS: A Comprehensive Benchmark Evaluation
Summary: Comprehensive real-DBMS benchmark of cardinality estimators, integrating representative methods into PostgreSQL over STATS/STATS-CEB. Shows Q-Error poorly predicts plan quality and introduces P-Error, an end-to-end metric aligned with optimizer performance. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
