Releasing the result size of conjunctive queries and graph pattern queries under differential
privacy (DP) has received considerable attention in the literature, but existing solutions do
not offer any optimality guarantees. We provide the first DP mechanism for this problem with
a fairly strong notion of optimality, which can be considered as a natural relaxation of
instance-optimality to a constant.
