Hyper-grid model for ordering that has been optimized for operation of (OLAP) and online analytical processing against data warehouse

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for Online Analytical Processing of data included within data warehouses. According to one example, a method for adding a dimension to a hyper-lattice structure is provided and includes adding a new base cuboid to a hyper-lattice that describes functionality of the data warehouses. According to another example, a method for determining an optimal path through an existing hyper-lattice by which to generate a destination cuboid from a source cuboid is also provided.
