ABSTRACT:
A technique for accessing a subject multi-dimensional database stored on a data store connected to the computer. An index is created for the subject multi-dimensional database, wherein the index includes another multi-dimensional database having dimensions of the subject multi-dimensional database and an additional ranking dimension. Then, the subject multi-dimensional database is accessed using the index.
