We propose a multi-dimensional language called nD-SQL with the following features: (i) nD-SQL supports queries that interoperate amongst multiple relational sources with heterogen...
The data cube operator exemplifies two of the most important aspects of OLAP queries: aggregation and dimension hierarchies. In earlier work we presented Dwarf, a highly compress...
Computing multidimensional aggregates in high dimensions is a performance bottleneck for many OLAP applications. Obtaining the exact answer to an aggregation query can be prohibit...
Star schema has been a typical model for both online transaction processing in traditional databases and online analytical processing in large data warehouses. In the star schema,...
On-line analytical processing (OLAP) provides tools to explore and navigate into data cubes in order to extract interesting information. Nevertheless, OLAP is not capable of expla...
