Abstract
Among other things, we describe a technique for storing data of a data cube in one or more flat files. We also describe a technique for processing a query to access data of a data cube. These techniques can be implemented in a number of ways, including as a method, system, and/or computer program product stored on a computer readable storage device. One of the techniques includes receiving a set of data records having at least two dimensions, generating a set of grouped data records ordered by cardinality, and generating and storing at least one flat file containing the set of grouped data records, wherein a particular data record of the grouped data records includes a primary key that can be used to identify data of the particular data record in response to a request.
