Generating multidimensional output using meta-models and meta-outline

摘要: Improved techniques for generating multidimensional output using a relational source database are disclosed. The allow generation of instructions needed to access the in order produce output. do not need be stored and can generated dynamically. As result, databases accessed without requiring additional programming and/or changes database. that is by variety conceptual accessing (e.g., SQL). A Meta-data manager used database, as well interact with modeler outliner. define Meta-model. outliner create one or more Meta- outlines. Meta-model Meta outline, together, provide mechanism describing semantics OLAP models way bi-directional physical structures data bases accomplished having rely on 'hard-coded' values.
