The Drill Down Benchmark

Summary: Introduces the Drill Down (DD) Benchmark, targeting data-mining query workloads that OLAP benchmarks miss. Derived from Data Surveyor tasks across DBMS backends, it evaluates practical drill-down performance and reports initial Monet versus relational-DBMS results.
