QueryBrew: System-Agnostic SQL-to-SQL Query Optimization [pdf]

The article presents QueryBrew, a system-agnostic approach to SQL-to-SQL query optimization that can improve query performance without requiring application rewrites or deep changes to the underlying database platform. For CIOs, the business value is lower compute and cloud costs, faster analytics, and less reliance on specialized DBA tuning; strategically, it supports a more portable data architecture and reduces lock-in across database systems. For IT organizations, this points to a shift toward automated, centralized query optimization workflows that can standardize performance management across heterogeneous data stacks.
