Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In an embodiment, for any structural change that is made to a relational database, a corresponding change is also made to the multidimensional database. In an embodiment, the system determines that a particular structure is not implemented on the multidimensional database system. Based on metadata that defines the structure that is supposed to exist in the multidimensional database, the appropriate structure is created.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a processor; a computer-readable storage medium; a metadata repository configured to store structure metadata, wherein the structure metadata defines one or more structures for storing data in both: a) a two-dimensional database, and b) a multidimensional database having more than two dimensions; a synchronization component configured to (1) determine that new data has been posted into a first cell in the multidimensional database…
