System and method for real time data aggregation in a virtual cube in a multidimensional database environment

Abstract:

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for real time data aggregation in a virtual cube in a multidimensional database, in accordance with an embodiment. A method can provide, at a computer that includes one or more microprocessors, a multidimensional database server executing on the computer, wherein the multidimensional database server supports at least one multidimensional cube, a data source associated with the multidimensional cube, and at least one source of real-time data accessible by the data source. The method can query, by the multidimensional cube, the data source, the query comprising an identification of the at least one source of real-time data. The method can provide, by the data source, on-demand access to the multidimensional cube to the at least one source of real-time data. The method can use targeted data from the at least one source of real-time data within the multidimensional cube without being stored therein.
