Implementing Data Cubes Efficiently

Summary: Uses a view-dependency lattice to decide which data-cube cells to materialize when full materialization is infeasible; greedy algorithms yield constant-factor near-optimality. Hypercube-lattice focus, detailing space–time tradeoffs and practical materialization strategies for fast aggregates. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
