TruthTable: A Verifiable Query Engine

TruthTable: A Verifiable Query Engine

TruthTable is a verifiable database engine that produces succinct cryptographic proofs for SQL query execution. It supports a wide range of SQL queries by leveraging query plans, polynomial encoding, and operator-specific PIOPs. It features a query planner with proof-specific optimizations and a novel batch compilation engine (ARCPOP). Benchmarks on TPC-H show average proving times of 55 seconds, verification times of 32 milliseconds, and proof sizes of 24kB, significantly outperforming prior academic and industrial systems in speed and expressiveness.

What Are Large Database Models? AI for SQL Data

Martin Keen introduces Large Database Models (LDMs), a new AI paradigm that brings advanced analytical capabilities directly into SQL and relational databases. This allows for semantic queries on the 99% of enterprise data traditionally locked away, enabling faster, more secure insights without costly data movement.
