Micro-Specialization: Speeds up DBMS at runtime by exploiting invariants.

Micro-Specialization uses relation- and query-specific information to specialize database management systems at runtime based on identified invariants. This invariant is often of the form of variable(s) in the code that are constant during query evaluation. Micro-specialization is applied to eliminate from the original program unnecessary code such as branching statements that reference such invariants in branch-condition evaluation. The resulting specialized code greatly reduces the code complexity to significantly improve efficiency during code execution.
