Dynamic Programming Strikes Back
Summary: DP-based join ordering extended to complex predicates with DPhyp, modeling the query as a hypergraph and reasoning over subgraphs to enable multiway and non-inner joins. Experiments show speedups over memoization-based approaches for complex predicates, underscoring DP's advantage in modern join optimization. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
