Abstract

In one embodiment, a method receives a query for analyzing data in a database. The query includes a first level calculation that is performed before a second level calculation. The method determines an operator in the query configured to explicitly remove group by information for a reference characteristic in the first level calculation where the group by information is specified for the reference characteristic in the second level calculation. The first level calculation is performed by removing the group by information for the reference characteristic for the first level calculation to determine a first level calculation result and the second level calculation is performed using the first level calculation result using the group by information for the reference characteristic to determine a second level calculation result.
