Abstract: A method is described for generating code for loading and performing other processing operations on a multi-dimensional data warehouse. Databases are defined as entity-relationship data models, using a modelling tool. A source file is created, containing instructions for processing the database, and including one or more high-level directives. At system build time, the source file is pre-processed, by replacing the directives with code, using information pulled from the data model, to generate a destination file containing the code for processing the database. At run time, the generated code is processed to replace run-time macros, indicating physical storage schemes. The generated code is then run, to process the database.

Abstract: An integrated air/fuel induction system for a multicylinder internal combustion engine includes an intake manifold assembly having an airbox for providing a source of intake air for consumption by the engine. The intake manifold assembly also includes an air plenum communicating with the airbox. A plurality of intake runners is integrally formed, at least partially, within the airbox, for directing intake air flowing from the plenum into each cylinder of the engine. The airbox thereby encapsulates and utilizes the volume of space surrounding the intake runners. The integrated air/fuel induction system also includes a fuel rail removably latched to the manifold assembly. A biasing member is provided to compensate for any slack between the fuel rail and the manifold assembly. In addition, rotational and axial locators are provided so as to position the fuel rail relative to the engine.
