Title
Exploiting Persistent Intermediate Code Representations in Open Database Environments
Abstract
Modern database environments have to execute, store, analyze, optimize and generate code at various levels of abstraction (queries, views, triggers, query execution plans, methods, 4GL programs, etc.). We present TML, an abstract persistent intermediate code representation developed in the Tycoon2 project to fully integrate static and dynamic code analysis and rewriting. TML is a continuation passing style (CPS) language which excels in its explicit, high-level representation of control and data dependencies. We formally define TML and its core rewrite rules which unify many well-known optimizing transformations. We also present Tycoon's innovative reflective system architecture which supports modular compile-time as well as global runtime optimizations. Moreover, we describe how this architecture enables optimizations across abstraction barriers in large modular persistent applications including embedded declarative queries.
