Abstract:
A method of accessing multi dimensional databases, a member management table holding a data for correlating between members of said multi dimensional databases provided for each dimension, a dimension information management table for correlating between dimensions of said multi dimensional databases and said member management table and for linking between one dimension and another dimension of said respective multi dimensional databases, and a multi dimensional database information table that holds the data items that are held in said multi dimensional databases,said method comprising the steps of: accessing to said dimension information management table and multi dimensional database management table when an application is searching a certain multi dimensional database in response to a request that occurs for obtaining a data that is relational to certain data; obtaining the multi dimensional database name, a measure dimension name, and a measure member where the relational data exists and for sending them to the application; obtaining a member name corresponding to a member name of the multi dimensional database that is being searched from said member management table in response to the request of the user for obtaining the corresponding data; and accessing to the multi dimensional database in which said relational data exists to obtain the data from said corresponding member.
