Method, article of manufacture, and apparatus for generating a multi-dimensional record management index
First Claim
1. A database management system to manage data, the database management system comprising:
- a processing engine to generate a record structure foundation from the data, where the record structure foundation includes at least one query map record and at least one dimension index record; and
a record structure foundation storage unit coupled to the processing engine and configured to house the record structure foundation.

Abstract
A record management system is provided for generating a multi-dimensional view for different measures. A set of records is retrieved in response to a set of queries. The records include dimension values and measure values, which are associated with the measures. The set of records is maintained in a master table. The record management system generates a record structure foundation, including a query map and a master table index. The record management system then employs the record structure foundation to generate a multi-dimensional layout mapping for the measures that are to be represented in the view. The record structure foundation and measure values in the master table are used to convert the layout mapping into the desired multi-dimensional view.
