  • Patent number: 7774303
    Abstract: A record management system is provided for generating a multi-dimensional view for different measures. A set of records is retrieved in response to a set of queries. The set of records is maintained in a master table. The record management system generates a record structure foundation, including a query map and a master table index. The record management system then employs the record structure foundation to generate a multi-dimensional layout mapping for the measures that are to be represented in the view. The record structure foundation and measure values in the master table are used to convert the layout mapping into the desired multidimensional view. The record management system includes data storage units. These data storage units are coupled to a set of processing engines, which that provide for performing operations that result in the generation of a multi-dimensional view.

  • Publication number: 20060265391
    Abstract: A method and system to process a data search request. The system includes a query controller module to receive the data search request that includes constraints; a reduced constraint builder module to formulate a plurality of search definitions that are formulated to exclude at least one constraint; and a search engine to perform searches of a data source to generate search results and to utilize the search results to calculate counts of data items that respectively correspond to the search definitions. The query controller module communicates the counts of data items and the corresponding search definitions to a client machine. Each of the search definitions is formulated to include a constraint set.

  • Patent number: 7076502
    Abstract: A record management system is provided for generating a multi-dimensional view for different measures. A set of records is retrieved in response to a set of queries. The records include dimension values and measure values, which are associated with the measures. The set of records is maintained in a master table. The record management system generates a record structure foundation, including a query map and a master table index. The record management system then employs the record structure foundation to generate a multi-dimensional layout mapping for the measures that are to be represented in the view. The record structure foundation and measure values in the master table are used to convert the layout mapping into the desired multi-dimensional view.

  • Patent number: 6226647
    Abstract: A record management system provides for displaying a two-pass value measure result in a multi-dimensional view containing cells. The record management system identifies a set of cells in the multi-dimensional view. The set of cells includes all cells needed for determining the two-pass value measure result. The record management system determines a one-pass value for each cell in the set of cells. Based on the one-pass values, the record management system determines the two-pass value measure result.
