Accessing data in a multi-level display for large data sets

Abstract:

Methods, systems and computer readable media are provided for accessing data utilizing a multi-level table comprising generating a plurality of levels of the multi-level table, wherein a first level of the multi-level table includes a hyper-table with a plurality of hyper-cells each hyper-cell including information for a group of cells from an initial base table, wherein intermediate levels of the multi-level table each include a plurality of hyper-tables comprising hyper-cells with each hyper-table linked to and providing information for a corresponding hyper-cell of a hyper-table of a prior level, and wherein a plurality of tables of a terminal level includes information from cells of the initial base table with each table linked to and providing information for a corresponding hyper-cell. Data from the multi-level table is accessed by traversing links between the hyper-tables of the plurality of levels to access data within the tables of the terminal level.
