Being able to efficiently answer arbitrary OLAP queries that aggregate along any combination of dimensions over numerical and categorical attributes has been a continued, major co...
We consider the problem of creating a sample view of a database table. A sample view is an indexed, materialized view that permits efficient sampling from an arbitrary range query...
Abstract. A top-k OLAP query groups measures with respect to some abstraction level of interesting dimensions and selects the k groups with the highest aggregate value. An example ...
In the context of multidimensional databases implemented on relational DBMSs through star schemes, the most effective technique to enhance performances consists of materializing re...
