Abstract

Just-in-time compilation of SQL queries into native code has recently emerged as a viable alternative to interpretation-based query processing. We present the salient results of research in this fresh area, addressing all aspects of the query processing stack. Throughout the discussion we draw analogies to the general code generation techniques used in contemporary compiler technology. At the same time we describe the open research problems of the area.
