SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING BOTTOM-UP AGGREGATION IN A MULTIDIMENSIONAL DATABASE ENVIRONMENT

摘要

In accordance with an embodiment, the system supports bottom-up aggregation in a multidimensional database computing environment. A dynamic flow, coupled with a data retrieval layer or data fetching component, which in some environments can incorporate a kernel-based data structure, referred to herein as an odometer retriever, or odometer, that manages pointers to data blocks, contains control information, or otherwise operates as an array of arrays of pointers to stored members, enables bottom-up aggregation of cube data which, for example with pure aggregating queries, provides considerable run time improvement.

1. A system for providing bottom-up aggregation in a multidimensional database environment, comprising:
a computing, including a processor; a multidimensional database, for at least one of storage or analysis of data; and
a kernel-based data structure, that manages pointers to data blocks,
contains control information, andoperates as an array of arrays of pointers, to stored members, and enables bottom-up aggregation of cube data.
