Abstract
A flattened table (FT) of a database of a database management system (DBMS) is defined. The FT logically materializes a number of columns over a number of partitions. The columns include normalized columns, denormalized columns from a plurality of source tables of the database, as well as an aggregate column defining an aggregation of a selected normalized column over a selected denormalized column. A live-aggregate projection (LAP) is defined on the FT of the database. The LAP corresponds to the aggregate column and physically materializes the aggregation of the selected denormalized column over the selected denormalized column, as defined by the aggregate column. The FT is refreshed on-demand, on a per-column, per-partition basis. Responsive to the FT being refreshed on-demand, the LAP is automatically refreshed.
