Abstract
Exemplary embodiments include an iceberg query method, including processing the iceberg query using a bitmap index having a plurality of bitmap vectors in a database, eliminating any of the plurality of bitmap vectors in the bitmap index that fails to meet a given condition thereby forming a subset of the plurality of bitmap vectors and aligning the vectors in the subset of the plurality of bitmap vectors in the bitmap index according to respective positions of the bitmap vectors in the subset of the plurality of bitmap vectors.
