Index Structures For Data Warehouses

Data Warehouses Differ Significantly From Traditional Transaction-oriented Operational Database Applications. Indexing Techniques And Index Structures Applied In The Transaction-oriented Context Are Not Feasible For Data Warehouses.this Work Develops Specific Heuristic Indexing Techniques Which Process Range Queries On Aggregated Data More Efficiently Than Those Traditionally In Transaction-oriented Systems. The Book Presents Chapters On:- The State Of The Art In Data Warehouse Research- Data Storage And Index Structures- Finding Optimal Tree-based Index Structures- Aggregated Data In Tree-based Index Structures- Performance Models For Tree-based Index Structures- And Techniques For Comparing Index Structures.
