Seriously folks, this is a good discussion, but it getting a bit off topic at times. I would suggest doing what Ross did a few posts ago. Rather than go into a long discussion about "is a star schema a cube or a representation of an n-dimensional super-duper-hyper-pterodactyl cube," post some links to areas where those interested in the not-necessarily-U2 topic can find further info.
And to ALL the vendors, please remember that if you mention your product in the post, you really ought to put [AD] in the subject line.
Now, would anyone care to post any experiences on performance of implementing a star schema in a set of normalized U2 files and doing drill down and roll up strictly with LIST, SORT, and its options? Post numbers, not guesses.
