Abstract
A computer system and method provide efficient, intuitive, and human-friendly ways of expressing metric-centric queries about multidimensional database data and, at the same, provide a level of flexibility for expressing various metric-centric queries in an interactive manner. The expression techniques help to more easily formulate metric-centric queries that require aggregation operations and joins. The flexible techniques facilitate interactive analysis of multidimensional data from different perspectives including consolidating, drilling down, and slicing and dicing the data. As a result, the analysis task for the data analyst and the programming task for the application developer may be easier, more efficient, and more effective.
