DATA STORAGE METHOD AND DATA RETRIEVAL METHOD FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL DATABASE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-dimensional data processing method suitable for obtaining data at a high speed in multi-dimensional retrieval by using a set of the coordinate values of a dimension whose coordinate values provided in the successively retrieved plural data are successive and determining a storage position inside a data storage area. ;SOLUTION: A multi-dimensional coordinate setting processor 103 transforms the attributes of inputted multi-dimensional data to multi-dimensional coordinates 113. A dimension allocation processor 104 refers to dimension allocation information 115 specified by a user beforehand and classifies the respective coordinates into non-successive dimension coordinates 116 and successive dimension coordinates 117. A storage area decision processor 105 determines a storage area number 118 by using the non-successive dimension coordinates 116. A storage position decision processor 106 determines a storage position 120 by using a storage area number 119 which is the same information as the storage area number 118 and the successive dimension coordinates 117. A data storage processor 107 stores the data at the storage position 121 which is the same information as the storage position 120.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO
