Research on Query Optimization Using Language Models
Research conducted by Leis et al. revisits the challenges faced by query optimizers, particularly in join ordering, which is an NP-hard problem. An experiment demonstrated that a language model could be trained to produce query plans that outperform those generated by Postgres. The study also discusses the limitations of Postgres in estimating cardinalities and introduces the pg_hint_plan extension as a method to influence query optimization.
