Trampoline-Style Queries for SQL will be at CIDR 2025

We love the single-track system-focused CIDR series of conferences and we are happy to be able join the community again for CIDR 2025, once more located in Amsterdam (NL), January 19-22, 2025. Together with our colleagues Thomas Neumann and Altan Birler of TU Munich, we discuss a new foundation for iterative queries: we step away from fixpoints and instead bank on Trampoline-Style queries for SQL, a concept inspired by the programming languages and compilers domain. WITH TRAMPOLINE has already been prototypically implemented in Thomas’ Umbra RDBMS. Trampolines are versatile—they also serve as the backbone for our work in the compilation of imperative-style programs to SQL.
