Abstract

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for deleting rows in a multidimensionally clustering database. A multidimensional clustering processor receives a request to delete a set of multidimensionally clustering data. The multidimensional clustering processor determines whether all multidimensionally clustering data is located in a block. Responsive to all multidimensionally clustered data qualifying for deletion, the multidimensional clustering processor deletes all data in the block to delete the set of multidimensionally clustered data.
