DeepDB is a data-driven learned database component achieving state-of-the-art-performance in cardinality estimation and approximate query processing (AQP). This is the implementation described in
Benjamin Hilprecht, Andreas Schmidt, Moritz Kulessa, Alejandro Molina, Kristian Kersting, Carsten Binnig: "DeepDB: Learn from Data, not from Queries!", VLDB'2020. [PDF]
Tested with python3.7 and python3.8
git clone https://github.com/DataManagementLab/deepdb-public.git
cd deepdb-public
sudo apt install -y libpq-dev gcc python3-dev
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
For python3.8: Sometimes spflow fails, in this case remove spflow from requirements.txt, install them and run
pip3 install spflow --no-deps
Download the Job dataset. Generate hdf files from csvs.
python3 maqp.py --generate_hdf
--dataset imdb-light
--csv_seperator ,
--csv_path ../imdb-benchmark
--hdf_path ../imdb-benchmark/gen_single_light
--max_rows_per_hdf_file 100000000
Generate sampled hdf files from csvs.
python3 maqp.py --generate_sampled_hdfs
--dataset imdb-light
--hdf_path ../imdb-benchmark/gen_single_light
--max_rows_per_hdf_file 100000000
--hdf_sample_size 10000
Learn ensemble with the optimized rdc strategy (requires postgres with imdb dataset)
python3 maqp.py --generate_ensemble
--dataset imdb-light
--samples_per_spn 10000000 10000000 1000000 1000000 1000000
--ensemble_strategy rdc_based
--hdf_path ../imdb-benchmark/gen_single_light
--max_rows_per_hdf_file 100000000

--ensemble_budget_factor 5
--ensemble_max_no_joins 3
--pairwise_rdc_path ../imdb-benchmark/spn_ensembles/pairwise_rdc.pkl
Alternatively: Learn base ensemble over different tables with naive strategy. (Does not work with different dataset sizes because join sizes are hard coded but does not require postgres)
python3 maqp.py --generate_ensemble
--dataset imdb-light
--samples_per_spn 1000000 1000000 1000000 1000000 1000000

Evaluate performance for queries.
python3 maqp.py --evaluate_cardinalities

Conditional incremental learning (i.e., initial learning of all films before 2013, newer films learn incremental)
python3 maqp.py --generate_ensemble
--dataset imdb-light
--samples_per_spn 10000000 10000000 1000000 1000000 1000000

--ensemble_budget_factor 0
--ensemble_max_no_joins 3
--pairwise_rdc_path ../imdb-benchmark/spn_ensembles/pairwise_rdc.pkl
--incremental_condition "title.production_year<2013"
Generate the C++ code. (Currently only works for cardinality estimation).
python3 maqp.py --code_generation
--ensemble_path ../imdb-benchmark/spn_ensembles/ensemble_join_3_budget_5_10000000.pkl
Compile it in a venv with pybind installed.
Sometimes installing this yields: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip.req'
One workaround is to downgrade pip pip3 install pip==9.0.3 as described here.
The command below works for ubuntu 18.04. Make sure the generated .so file is in the root directory of the project.
g++ -O3 -Wall -shared -std=c++11 -ftemplate-depth=2048 -ftime-report -fPIC `python3 -m pybind11 --includes` optimized_inference.cpp -o optimized_inference`python3-config --extension-suffix`
If you now want to leverage the module you have to specify it for cardinalities.
python3 maqp.py --evaluate_cardinalities
--rdc_spn_selection
--max_variants 1
--pairwise_rdc_path ../imdb-benchmark/spn_ensembles/pairwise_rdc.pkl

As an additional example on how to work with DeepDB, we provide an example on just a single table of the TPC-DS schema for the queries in ./benchmarks/tpc_ds_single_table/sql/aqp_queries.sql. As a prerequisite, you need a 10 million tuple sample of the store_sales table in the directory ../mqp-data/tpc-ds-benchmark/store_sales_sampled.csv. Afterwards,
you can run the following commands. To compute the ground truth, you need a postgres instance with a 1T TPC-DS dataset.

- Specify a new schema in the schemas folder
- Due to the current implementation, make sure to declare
- the primary key,
- the filename of the csv sample file,
- the correct table size and sample rate,
- the relationships among tables if you do not just run queries over a single table,
- any non-key functional dependencies (this is rather an implementation detail),
- and include all columns in the no-compression list by default (as done for the IMDB benchmark),
- To further reduce the training time, you can exclude columns you do not need in your experiments (also done in the IMDB benchmark)
- Generate the HDF/sampled HDF files and learn the RSPN ensemble
- Use the RSPN ensemble to answer queries
