A computer readable storage medium comprises executable instructions to receive user-created data for user-specified positions in an OLAP hierarchy. The OLAP hierarchy is reorganized according to the user-created data. Data manipulation statements are generated to evaluate a set of members of the OLAP hierarchy according to the user-specified positions.

Apparatus and method for positioning user-created data in OLAP data sources

A computer readable storage medium comprises executable instructions to receive a query referencing a set of members of an OLAP hierarchy. The query is parsed into a syntax tree. Changes to the OLAP hierarchy metadata are received. The syntax tree is refined in response to the changes. The query is evaluated to return results that are independent of the changes to the OLAP hierarchy metadata.

Apparatus and method for maintaining metadata version awareness during set evaluation for OLAP hierarchies

A computer readable medium stores executable instructions to receive a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query. The MDX query is recursively rationalized to form a rationalized query. The rationalized query is applied to a multidimensional data source to produce query results. The query results are returned.
