  • Querying multidimensional data with independent fact and dimension pipelines combined at query time
    Patent number: 8620857
    Abstract: Separate subsystems are dedicated to handle fact and dimension data storage and retrieval in an optimized manner. Each subsystem acquires, processes, and stores its data separately in a manner appropriate to the characteristics of that data. A query engine combines the data from each subsystem at query time. When a user queries the system, the query engine interacts with each of the subsystems to fetch the data needed to generate a single result set.
    Type: Grant
