Method for selecting data record from data cube stored in memory of computer, involves determining data records different from reference record by frame parameters, and representing reference record and data records

摘要

The method involves producing a data cube from data records, and storing the cube in a memory e.g. working memory and main memory, of a computer. Retrieval of the data cube is performed based on a selection of frame parameters, and a reference record is determined. The data records different from the reference record are determined by frame parameters. The reference record and the data records are represented. The reference record is represented as a line, and the data records are represented above or below the line according to a difference between the reference record and the data records.
