Ask your account rep about IBM's Red Brick database. It was designed from the ground up (by Ralph Kimball and others) specifically to implement star schemas, and is highly scalable. Because it does not carry the overheads that transactional engines carry, and because it has lots of other tricks (such as a multi-table index over the star), queries on billion row fact tables constrained on multiple dimensions can have sub-second response times. And it's not that expensive. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
