Sedar: Obtaining High-Quality Seeds for DBMS Fuzzing via Cross-DBMS SQL Transfer

Abstract

Effective DBMS fuzzing relies on high-quality initial seeds, which serve as the starting point for mutation. These initial seeds should incorporate various DBMS features to explore the state space thoroughly. While built-in test cases are typically used as initial seeds, many DBMSs lack comprehensive test cases, making it difficult to apply state-of-the-art fuzzing techniques directly.
