DeepDB: Learn from Data, not from Queries!

Summary: Data-driven learned DBMS components bypass workload-driven training, enabling changes in workload or data without retraining. Empirically higher accuracy and better generalization to unseen queries than state-of-the-art learned components. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
