Abstract:
1. A method of multidimensional data interaction comprising: receiving a first statement defining a first subcube, the first subcube defining a subset of a multidimensional cube; creating the first subcube in response to the first statement; receiving a second statement that evaluates against the first subcube and defines a second subcube, the second subcube defining a subset of the first subcube; creating the second subcube in response to the second statement, all subsequent received queries evaluating on the second subcube until deletion of the second subcube; receiving a multidimensional database query; executing the query on the second subcube; returning results of the query; receiving a first delete statement that executes to delete the second subcube, deletion of the second subcube restoring the first subcube such that subsequent received queries are evaluated on the first subcube until deletion of the first subcube; and receiving a second delete statement that executes to delete the first subcube, deletion of the first subcube facilitating evaluation of subsequent received queries against the multidimensional cube.
