A multidimensional analytical view (MDAV) type can be supported for an in-memory, columnar database, and MDAV calculations can be integrated into the database. Such an MDAV can be combined with other MDAV types as desired. Calculations typically performed at the application layer can be pushed down to the database. A model-based approach allows generation of a calculation plan, and calculations can be performed directly on the database.

In-memory, columnar database multidimensional analytical view integration

A data analysis workbench enables a user to define a data analysis process that includes an extract sub-process to obtain transactional data from a source system, a load sub-process for providing the extracted data to a data warehouse or data mart, a data mining analysis sub-process to use the obtained transactional data, and a deployment sub-process to make the data mining results accessible by another computer program. Common settings used by each of the sub-processes are defined, as are specialized settings relevant to each of the sub-processes. The invention also enables a user to define an order in which the defined sub-processes are to be executed.
