Abstract

An embodiment of the invention pertains to processing messages received from a set of devices. A mapping of message fields to fact table columns is stored in a mapping table of a relational database. The method comprises, for each received message, determining all fields of the received message. If it is determined that the mapping table does not assign a fact table column to each of the determined fields of the message, a new mapping between message fields to respective fact table is automatically stored in the mapping table. A mapping is identified in the mapping table that assigns each of the determined fields of the message to a respective one of the columns of the fact table. The field values of the message are stored in the fact table in accordance with the identified mapping.
