Automating Physical Database Design in a Parallel Database
Summary: Automates partitioning of data in a shared-nothing parallel DB using workload-driven optimization. Integrates with the optimizer to propose and evaluate partition candidates; rank-based search outperforms random in a commercial shared-nothing system. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
