When is it Time to Rethink the Aggregate Configuration of Your OLAP Server?

Summary: Continuous workload monitoring with quantified alerts for superior OLAP aggregate configurations. OLAP-level view selection, not SQL-level containment, simplifies checks and rewrites, enabling automatic reconfiguration under interactive workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
