SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC DEPENDENCY ANALYSIS FOR USE WITH A MULTIDIMENSIONAL DATABASE

Abstract:

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for dependency analysis for a calculation script in a multidimensional database computing environment. A multidimensional database cube aggregation can be represented as a lattice of blocks or cube, arranged according to a database outline (e.g., intra-dimensional or member hierarchy). When the multidimensional database system performs computations in parallel for a given calculation script, portions of the cube that can be computed concurrently are identified.
