Alaric Snell-PymOk, a question for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/database" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#database</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/dbms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dbms</a> nerds. Many years ago I worked on a join order optimizer that used a heuristic formula to estimate the number of rows produced by an equijoin, based on the number of rows in the two tables being joined and the number of distinct values in the join keys. This formula came from an academic paper, but I can't remember what the formula was or find the paper. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Boosts appreciated...

Howard Chu @ SymasThere was a paper published in 2022 that was highly critical of using <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mmap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mmap</a> in a database management system. I wrote a lot about it on twitter back then, but have collected it all into a blog post now. tl;dr the paper is full of crap. <a href="https://www.symas.com/post/are-you-sure-you-want-to-use-mmap-in-your-dbms" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.symas.com/post/are-you-sure-you-want-to-use-mmap-in-your-dbms</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lmdb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lmdb</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dbms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dbms</a>
