Query optimizers rely on accurate cardinality estimates to produce good execution plans. Despite decades of research, existing cardinality estimators are inaccurate for complex queries, due to making lossy modeling assumptions and not capturing inter-table correlations. In this work, we show that it is possible to learn the correlations across all tables in a database without any independence assumptions. We present NeuroCard, a join cardinality estimator that builds a single neural density estimator over an entire database. Leveraging join sampling and modern deep autoregressive models, NeuroCard makes no inter-table or inter-column independence assumptions in its probabilistic modeling. NeuroCard achieves orders of magnitude higher accuracy than the best prior methods (a new state-of-the-art result of 8.5x maximum error on JOB-light), scales to dozens of tables, while being compact in space (several MBs) and efficient to construct or update (seconds to minutes).

  2. Why is cardinality estimation hard 5k<=salary<=15k 20<=age<=28 Must learn data

    correlations across columns across tables (joins) Probability(salary in [5k,15k], age in [20,28])?
  3. Why is cardinality estimation hard Must learn data correlations across

    columns across tables (joins) In T1⋈T2⋈T3, Probability( T1.salary in [5k,15k], T2.age in [20,28])? 20<=age<=28 5k<=salary<=15k
  4. Heuristics lose information Independence Uniformity 𝘱(T1.salary) 𝘱(T1.salary, T2.age) 𝘱(T2.age) ≈

    × Heuristics learn fewer correlations, making cardinality estimates inaccurate. “Values in each bin are uniform”
  5. NeuroCard Learn all correlations over all tables, without heuristics NeuroCard
