Abstract
A size reducer for tabular data models. As the tabular data model is being created, the size reducer evaluates one or more columns of the tabular data model. For a given column, the memory burden and data type of the column are determined. Based on this information, the size reducer automatically determines at least one modification that can be made to the column (as compared to the source column at the data source) in order to reduce the size of the column's burden in the tabular data model. Example modifications might include splitting of column as compared to its source column in the data source, removing information (e.g., rounding) from a column as compared to its source column, and even eliminating columns from the tabular data model that are present in the external data source.
