Abstract
A system including a method for navigating between dimensions and domains allows for an interactive response to a query based on data stored in at least one online transaction processing (OLTP) database structure and data stored in at least one online analysis processing (OLAP) database structure. The system includes a dimension to domain server which interacts with a user interface client that presents, to a user, representations of elements of the OLTP database structure and representations of elements of the OLAP database structure, wherein the user interface client also includes logic to accept a selection of representations of elements selected by the user and, if the selection comprises more than one element, an association among the elements in the selection. An element relator is provided that relates one or more elements of the OLTP database structure to one or more elements of the OLAP processing database structure when the selection of representations includes at least one element from the OLTP database structure and at least one element from the OLAP database structure. A query formulator, coupled to the user interface client, formulates the query based on the selection…
