Are Learned DBMS Components Robust to Workload Drift?: [Experiments & Analysis]

Summary: Empirically evaluates workload-driven learned DBMS components under diverse drift scenarios using IMDb and STATS workloads. Shows drift can degrade both prediction accuracy and end-to-end execution, exposing robustness limits and motivating adaptive designs. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 26 2026)
