Improved Join Order Optimization for Database Queries using Hybrid Quantum-Classical Approaches for QUBO Problems (opens in new tab)

Efficient query optimization is crucial for relational database systems, especially for optimizing join orders in complex queries. This work introduces a hybrid approach that integrates Eliminating Cartesian Products (ECP) with splitting the QUBO search space (SQSS) to reduce the size of the QUBO problem, minimizing binary variables and constraints. This improves the performance of the quantum algorithm while lowering hardware requirements. We e...
