Talk Info:

MariaDB’s query optimizer stems from MySQL’s original implementation. It didn’t come from a textbook, instead, it grew organically to meet the demands of the workloads we were targeting.

This talk will discuss some of the uncommon choices we’ve made in MariaDB’s new optimizer and what we’ve got (and lost) as a result.

This talk is part of the SQL or Death? Seminar Series.
