Instance-Optimal Acyclic Joins: From Theory to Systems
Summary: A tutorial on Yannakakis’ instance-optimal evaluation of acyclic joins via join trees, semijoin reduction, and information passing. Connects these theory-driven principles to robust SQL systems, query optimization, and extensions beyond acyclic multiway joins. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
