The Case for a Unified, JIT Compiling Approach to Data Processing

Over the past 12 years, Just In Time Compilation for SQL query plans (pioneered by Thomas Neumann at TUM) gained popularity when it comes to developing high-performance analytical database management systems. The main idea sounds simple: the system generates specialized code for an individual query and avoids the overhead of interpretation of traditional query engines.

LingoDB, a new research project from Michael Jungmair at TUM, aims to enhance the flexibility and extensibility of this approach drastically. It pursues this goal in two ways:
