Range queries in OLAP data cubes
Ching‐Tien Ho, Rakesh Agrawal, Nimrod Megiddo, Ramakrishnan Srikant · 1997
A range query applies an aggregation operation over all selected cells of an OLAP data cube where the selection is specified by providing ranges of values for numeric dimensions. We present fast algorithms for range queries for two types of aggregation operations: SUM and MAX. These two operations cover techniques required for most popular aggregation operations, such as those supported by SQL.
