Scalable Package Queries in Relational Database Systems
Summary: Introduces PaQL, extending relational queries with collective constraints and preferences over result sets; its ILP-based semantics make evaluation expressive but NP-hard. SketchRefine combines partitioning and approximation to scale package evaluation beyond direct ILP solving. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
