Abstract
Provided are systems and methods that facilitate direct write back in a multi-dimensional database. The system includes a delta cache component that receives a user request to change an original cell value and determines a delta value based at least in part upon the changed cell value. Also included is a write back partition component that selectively updates a data cell based at least in part upon the delta value without updating corresponding data cell values. The system and methods allow attributes to be added to any dimension of a cube without affecting the write back data. Adding, modifying or removing a hierarchy has no affect on write back data nor does deleting a dimension that is not referenced by a write back.
