The SQL optimizer is one of the most complicated database components. Even after decades of evolution, it continues to fascinate database enthusiasts. In this meetup, we will talk about TiDB’s experience with the query optimizer. Yu Dong will start with an overview and talk about some of its key components. He’ll also discuss the challenges, opportunities, and evolution behind the optimizer in an HTAP system. Finally, Yu will share some tuning practices for TiDB users as well as some features to come. Ed Huang will provide some practical insights on TiDB’s SQL optimizer.
