    The Design of Multidimensional Data Model Using Principles of the Anchor Data Modeling: an Assessment of Experimental Approach Based on Query Execution Performance

    WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on COMPUTERS Radek Němec, František Zapletal The Design of Multidimensional Data Model Using Principles of the Anchor Data Modeling: An Assessment of Experimental Approach Based on Query Execution Performance RADEK NĚMEC, FRANTIŠEK ZAPLETAL Department of Systems Engineering Faculty of Economics, VŠB - Technical University of Ostrava Sokolská třída 33, 701 21 Ostrava CZECH REPUBLIC [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: - The decision making processes need to reflect changes in the business world in a multidimensional way. This includes also similar way of viewing the data for carrying out key decisions that ensure competitiveness of the business. In this paper we focus on the Business Intelligence system as a main toolset that helps in carrying out complex decisions and which requires multidimensional view of data for this purpose. We propose a novel experimental approach to the design a multidimensional data model that uses principles of the anchor modeling technique. The proposed approach is expected to bring several benefits like better query execution performance, better support for temporal querying and several others. We provide assessment of this approach mainly from the query execution performance perspective in this paper. The emphasis is placed on the assessment of this technique as a potential innovative approach for the field of the data warehousing with some implicit principles that could make the process of the design, implementation and maintenance of the data warehouse more effective. The query performance testing was performed in the row-oriented database environment using a sample of 10 star queries executed in the environment of 10 sample multidimensional data models.

    Chapter 7 Multi Dimensional Data Modeling

    Chapter 7 Multi Dimensional Data Modeling Fundamentals of Business Analytics” Content of this presentation has been taken from Book “Fundamentals of Business Analytics” RN Prasad and Seema Acharya Published by Wiley India Pvt. Ltd. and it will always be the copyright of the authors of the book and publisher only. Basis • You are already familiar with the concepts relating to basics of RDBMS, OLTP, and OLAP, role of ERP in the enterprise as well as “enterprise production environment” for IT deployment. In the previous lectures, you have been explained the concepts - Types of Digital Data, Introduction to OLTP and OLAP, Business Intelligence Basics, and Data Integration . With this background, now its time to move ahead to think about “how data is modelled”. • Just like a circuit diagram is to an electrical engineer, • an assembly diagram is to a mechanical Engineer, and • a blueprint of a building is to a civil engineer • So is the data models/data diagrams for a data architect. • But is “data modelling” only the responsibility of a data architect? The answer is Business Intelligence (BI) application developer today is involved in designing, developing, deploying, supporting, and optimizing storage in the form of data warehouse/data marts. • To be able to play his/her role efficiently, the BI application developer relies heavily on data models/data diagrams to understand the schema structure, the data, the relationships between data, etc. In this lecture, we will learn • About basics of data modelling • How to go about designing a data model at the conceptual and logical levels? • Pros and Cons of the popular modelling techniques such as ER modelling and dimensional modelling Case Study – “TenToTen Retail Stores” • A new range of cosmetic products has been introduced by a leading brand, which TenToTen wants to sell through its various outlets.
