PrivateSQL: A Differentially Private SQL Query Engine

Summary: PrivateSQL is an end-to-end differentially private SQL engine for multi-relational schemas, accounting for foreign-key constraints and selectively protected entities. Workload-tuned private multi-view synopses provide accurate counting queries under a fixed privacy budget. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
