NoDB in Action: Adaptive Query Processing on Raw Data
Summary: NoDB minimizes data-to-query time by querying raw data without loading, via the PostgresRaw prototype on PostgreSQL. Query-driven, adaptive access touches, parses, caches, and indexes raw files as a side-effect of queries, achieving zero initialization overhead. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
