Abstract

Range sum queries on data cubes are a powerful tool for analysis. A range sum query applies an aggregation operation (e.g., SUM, AVERAGE) over all selected cells in a data cube, where the selection is specified by providing ranges of values for numeric dimensions. We present the Dynamic Data Cube, a new approach to range sum queries which provides efficient performance for both queries and updates, which handles clustered and sparse data gracefully, and which allows for the dynamic expansion of the data cube in any direction.
