Simultaneous Optimization and Evaluation of Multiple Dimensional Queries

Summary: Three algorithms to optimize multiple related dimensional queries and derive a global plan from related local plans, or directly from the set. Three new evaluation primitives enable common-subtask sharing across related plans, boosting MDX/OLAP performance with relational data sources. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
