Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of generating an object model from a dimensional model, the method comprising: automatically generating a dimensional model that is derived from a given, initial object model and a relational database, wherein the dimensional model reflects and preserves object relationships between objects in the given object model and relational relationships in the relational database, wherein associations in the given object model are utilized to infer foreign key relationships in the dimensional model, and wherein the dimensional model has a plurality of fact tables, each fact table having one or more corresponding dimensions; generating, with a computer, a programming object model based on the dimensional model, wherein generating the programming object model comprises: generating an analytical program with the programming object model for receiving a query and accessing the data through the programming object model based on the query, wherein accessing the data comprises:
