Abstract

See full text

In a multi-dimensional database, a composite data construct is created to accommodate sparse dimensions. When the database is defined, sparse dimensions are identified and composites of those sparse dimensions are created. The composites are stored in a linearized array. The amount of storage space allocated is chosen by the database administrator to satisfy reasonable expected growth of the sparse data.
