Translating time-independent data using database operations
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of linking the contents of two or more at least partially time-independent tables in a multidimensional data source, the method comprising:
- generating a join operation for the two or more at least partially time-independent tables, the join operation including a query instruction executable on the multidimensional data source, the query instruction having at least one time attribute;
determining a pseudo time dependency between the two or more at least partially time-independent tables;
generating a time interval for the join operation based on the pseudo time dependency; and
executing the join operation using the time interval as the at least one time attribute.

Abstract
A method and system for linking the contents of two or more at least partially time-independent tables in a multidimensional data source are disclosed. A join operation is generated for the two or more at least partially time-independent tables. The join operation includes a query instruction that is executable on the multidimensional data source, and the query instruction has at least one time attribute. A pseudo time dependency between the two or more at least partially time-independent tables is determined. A time interval for the join operation is generated based on the pseudo time dependency. The join operation is then executed using the time interval as the at least one time attribute.
