Abstract: Optimizing the physical data storage and retrieval of data are two key database management problems. In this paper, we propose a language that can express both a relational query and the layout of its data. Our language can express a wide range of physical database layouts, going well beyond the row- and column-based methods that are widely used in database management systems. We use deductive program synthesis to turn a high-level relational representation of a database query into a highly optimized low-level implementation which operates on a specialized layout of the dataset. We build an optimizing compiler for this language and conduct experiments using a popular database benchmark, which shows that the performance of our specialized queries is better than a state-of-the-art in memory compiled database system while achieving an order-of-magnitude reduction in memory use.
