Incidentally, from your first message in this thread, you said you were
writing an OLAP application. You might care to look at PostgreSQL as a
database manager. It does rather nice OLAP functionality, straight out
of the box -- and it's free.
Somewhat offtopic...
Im a full time Postgresql DBA. Have used postgresql for 5+ years and it
doesn't do so well with the very uneven data distribution the dataset I
have.
This is exactly why I am doing this work. I am primarily trying to
experiment with some designs as proof of concepts. PostgreSQL is a general
purpose DB wich does great most of the time, but I think it does not do well
with very unevenly distributed data in the analytics environment at my job.
Have only been in this new job for about 4 months, but so far it seems by
far this is the one dataset that has given me the biggest challenge to get
it to work well with Postgresql.
