nD-SQL: A Multi-dimensional Language for Interoperability and OLAP
Summary: nD-SQL federates heterogeneous relational sources while reconciling schema mismatches and restructuring n-dimensional data through rows, columns, and relations. Its restructuring relational algebra enables optimizable, arbitrary-granularity aggregations beyond CUBE/ROLLUP/DRILLDOWN. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
