    摘要: A system and method for efficient data retrieval and processing in an online analytical processing system, a reporting system, a business intelligence system, or a data mining system. The system provides for retrieval and processing of a data result set from a plurality of data sources. The system includes a query structure assembly module, a syntax assembly module, and a process optimization module. The query structure assembly module defines a query structure based upon query assembly rules and a desired data set (such as the set of data for a particular OLAP report). The syntax assembly module defines one or more query language statements based upon the defined query structure. The process optimization module evaluates processing options based upon a database schema associated with the data sources. One or more query language statements may be assembled by the system and run against the data sources to return the desired data result set. A method and medium having processor readable code therein are also described.

    摘要: The invention provides a configuration tool to allow a user to build a custom-selected data object hierarchy, for business intelligence or other purposes. Under conventional data storage technologies, the physical layout of the disk drive or other media has dictated what logical views and searches a user could run on the underlying data. For instance, levels could not be readily skipped or many-to-many data object relationships were difficult to maintain. In the invention, a user may select and connect a set of data objects into a hierarchy of their choosing, to permit desired reports and other manipulations on the data to be performed. The hierarchy may be edited, and entry points may be defined. Different levels of security may be applied to the different levels of the hierarchy. Multiple hierarchies or representations may be built for one database or other data source.

    摘要: A system and method for defining and using logical extensions to a set of data stored in a relational database. A metadata definition for various extensions is stored to explain how to extend data as it is stored into a logical representation suitable for reporting and calculating purposes. An analytical engine translates report requests into SQL queries to access the physically stored data using the metadata extension definitions if necessary to generate appropriate results. Here, data is stored in at least one table that is physically keyed by a set of attributes with the attribute determining the granularity or level of data contained within the tables. A report request causes the engine to calculate and/or display the data at a lower level of granularity than exists, thereby invoking the metadata definitions. The extension definitions may describe how to extend data from the physical to the logical including joins and allocation rules.

    摘要: A system and method for monitoring and analyzing statistics regarding informational and transactional data is provided. Data distribution servers provide e-mail and other messages of topical interest to a subset of the subscribers. The content may be generated by an OLAP based channel database system, and the output may also be communicated to individuals via spreadsheet programs data, pager, telephone, mobile phone, fax, personal digital assistants, HTML e-mail and other formats, including a workbook file attachment. Statistics regarding the provided reports are generated and compiled. Analysis of the statistics may enable evaluations of system performance, application usage, and optimal configurations for the system.
