Abstract
The subject invention pertains to systems and methods for interacting with fact dimensions. In particular, systems and methods are disclosed that optimize performance and scalability with respect to processing queries that involve fact dimensions. Furthermore, queries involving fact dimensions can be evaluated in distinct manners. For instance, queries can be processed such that regular dimensions restrict the scope of the data and only fact dimension members that are relevant to that scope are exposed.
