5.1 How does OLAP work?

Presentation Presentation Presentation

Interface

Server

• OLAP systems

– Client/server architecture

• The client displays reports and allows interaction with the end user to perform the OLAP operations and other custom queries

5.1 How does OLAP work ?

custom queries

• The server is responsible for providing the requested data. How? It depends on whether it is MOLAP, ROLAP, HOLAP, etc.

• OLAP server

– High-capacity, multi-user data manipulation engine specificallydesigned to support and operateon multidimensional data

on multidimensional datastructures

– It is optimized for

• Fast, flexible calculation and transformation of raw data based on formulaic relationships

• OLAP server may either

– Physically stage the processed multidimensional information to deliver consistent and rapid response times to end users

• MOLAP

– Populate its data structures in real-time from relational or other databases

• ROLAP

– Or offer a choice of both

• HOLAP

• We have seen that

– The best way to represent data at the presentation level is multidimensional

• Regardless if the storage is multidimensional (MOLAP) or

multidimensional (MOLAP) orrelational (ROLAP)

• Optimal for analyze purposes: easy to understand by the decision makers, natural representations of the data inbusinesses, etc.

• Getting from OLAP operations to the data

– As in the relational model, through queries

• In OLTP we have SQL as the standard query language

– However, OLAP operations are hard to express in SQL

5.1 OLAP query languages

– There is no standard query language for OLAP

– Choices are:

• SQL-99

• MDX (Multidimensional expressions)

• SQL-99

– Prepare SQL for OLAP queries

– New SQL commands

• GROUPING SETS

5.1 OLAP query languages

• ROLLUP

• CUBE

– New aggregate functions

– Queries of type “top k”

• Shortcomings of SQL/92 with regard to OLAP queries

– Hard or impossible to express in SQL

• Multiple aggregations

• Comparisons (with aggregation)

5.1 SQL-99

• Comparisons (with aggregation)

• Reporting features

– Performance penalty

• Poor execution of queries with many AND and OR conditions

– Lack of support for statistical functions

• Multiple aggregations in SQL/92

– Create a 2D spreadsheet that shows sum of sales by maker as well as car model

– Each subtotal requires a separate aggregate query

5.1 SQL-99

SELECT model, make, sum(amt)

BMW Mercedes

By model

By make

SELECT model, make, sum(amt)

FROM sales GROUP BY model,

SELECT model, sum(amt) FROM

sales GROUP BY model

SELECT make, sum(amt) FROM

sales GROUP BY make

SELECT sum(amt) FROM sales

• Comparisons in SQL/92

– This year’s sales vs. last year’s sales for each product

• Requires a self-join

• CREATE VIEW v_sales AS SELECT prod_id, year, sum(qty) AS sale_sum FROM sales GROUP BY prod_id, year;

5.1 SQL-99

AS sale_sum FROM sales GROUP BY prod_id, year;

• SELECT cur.prod_id, cur.year, cur.sale_sum, last.year, last.sale_sum FROM v_sales cur, v_sales last WHERE cur.year = (last.year+1) AND cur.prod_id = last.prod_id;

• Reporting features in SQL/92– Too complex to express

• RANK (top k) and NTILE (“top X%” of all products)

• Median

• Running total, moving average, cumulative totals

– E.g., moving average over a 3 day window of total sales for

5.1 SQL-99

– E.g., moving average over a 3 day window of total sales for each product

• CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_sales AS SELECT prod_id, time_id, sum(qty) AS sale_sum FROM sales GROUP BY prod_id, time_id;

• SELECT end.time, avg(start.sale_sum) FROM v_sales start, v_sales end WHERE end.time >= start.time AND end.time <= start.time + 2 GROUP BY end.time;

• Grouping operators

– Extensions to the GROUP BY operator

• GROUPING SET

• CUBE

• ROLLUP

5.1 SQL-99

• ROLLUP

• GROUPING SET– Used for reporting purposes

– Replaces the series of UNIONed queries• SELECT dept_name, CAST(NULL AS CHAR(10)) AS

job_title, COUNT(*) FROM personnel

5.1 Grouping operators

job_title, COUNT(*) FROM personnelGROUP BY dept_name

UNION ALLSELECT CAST(NULL AS CHAR(8)) AS dept_name, job_title, COUNT(*) FROM personnel

GROUP BY job_title;

• Can be re-written as:SELECT dept_name, job_title, COUNT(*) FROM Personnel

GROUP BY GROUPING SET (dept_name, job_title);

• The issue of NULL values

– The new grouping functions generate NULL values at the subtotal levels

– So we have generated NULLs and real NULLs from the data itself

5.1 Grouping set

the data itself

– How do we tell the difference?

• Through the GROUPING function return value: GROUPING(job_title) which returns 0 for NULL in the data and 1 for generated NULL

• ROLLUP– Produces a result set that contains subtotal rows in

addition to regular grouped rows

– GROUP BY ROLLUP (a, b, c) is equivalent to

GROUP BY GROUPING SETS

(a, b, c),(a, b), (a), ()

– N elements of the ROLLUP translate to (N+1) grouping sets

– Order is significant to ROLLUP!• GROUP BY ROLLUP (c, b, a) is equivalent with grouping

sets of (c, b, a), (c, b), (c), ()

• ROLLUP operation, e.g.,:

– SELECT year, brand, SUM(qty) FROM sales GROUP BY ROLLUP(year, brand);

5.1 ROLLUP

Year Brand SUM(qty)

2008 Mercedes 250

2008 BMW 300

2008 VW 450

2008 1000

2009 Mercedes 50

… … …

2009 400

(year, brand)

(year)

(year, brand)

(year)

• CUBE operator

– Contains all the subtotal rows of a ROLLUP and in addition cross-tabulation rows

– Can also be thought as a series of GROUPING SETs

– All permutations of the cubed grouping expressions are computed along with the grand total

• N elements of a CUBE translate to 2n grouping sets:

– GROUP BY CUBE (a, b, c) is equivalent to

GROUP BY GROUPING SETS(a, b, c) (a, b) (a, c) (b, c) (a) (b) (c) ()

OVER(PARTITION BY ORDER BY ROWS BETWEEN…) RANK(), SUM()…

• The window clause

– Specify that we want to perform an action over a set of rows

– 3 sub-clauses: Partitioning, ordering and aggregation grouping

5.1 OLAP functions

aggregation grouping

– General format:<aggregate function> OVER ([PARTITION BY <column list>] ORDER BY <sort column list> [<aggregation grouping>])

• Moving averages are hard to compute withSQL-92

– It involves multiple self joins for the fact table

• With the window clause we can create

5.1 Window clause

• With the window clause we can create dynamical windows: expressed in the <aggregation grouping>

• SELECT … AVG(sales) OVER (PARTITION BY region ORDER BY month ASC ROWS 2 PRECEDING) AS SMA3…

– Moving average of 3 rows

• Ranking operators in SQL

– Row numbering is the most basic ranking function

• ROW_NUMBER() returns a column as an expression that contains the row’s number within the result set

• E.g., SELECT SalesOrderID, CustomerID, ROW_NUMBER()

5.1 Ranking in SQL

• E.g., SELECT SalesOrderID, CustomerID, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY SalesOrderID) as RunningCountFROM Sales WHERE SalesOrderID > 10000 ORDER BY SalesOrderID;

SalesOrderID CustomerID RunningCount

43660 234 2

43661 143 3

43662 213 4

43663 312 5

• ROW_NUMBER doesn’t consider tied values

– 2 equal considered values get 2 different returns

5.1 Ranking in SQL

SalesOrderID RunningCount

43659 1

43659 2

– The behavior is non-deterministic

• Each tied value could have its number switched!!

43659 2

43660 3

• RANK and DENSE_RANK functions

– Allow ranking items in a group

– The difference between RANK and DENSE_RANK is that DENSE_RANK leaves no gaps in ranking sequence when there are ties

5.1 Ranking in SQL

sequence when there are ties

– Syntax:

• RANK ( ) OVER ( [query_partition_clause] order_by_clause )

• DENSE_RANK ( ) OVER ( [query_partition_clause] order_by_clause )

• SQL99 Ranking e.g.,

5.1 Ranking in SQL

SELECT channel, calendar, TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SUM(amount_sold),-6), '9,999,999')

SALES, RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Trunc(SUM(amount_sold),-6) DESC) AS RANK,

DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY TRUNC(SUM(amount_sold),-6) DESC) AS DENSE_RANK

FROM sales, products …

• Other flavors of ranking

– Group ranking

• RANK function can operate within

groups: the rank gets reset whenever

the group changes

5.1 Ranking in SQL

the group changes

• A single query can contain more than one ranking function, each partitioning the data into different groups

• This is accomplished with the PARTITION BYclause

– E.g., SELECT … RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY channel ORDER BY SUM(amount_sold) DESC) AS RANK_BY_CHANNEL

5.1 Group Ranking

• The treatment of NULL values: NULLs are treated as normal values

– A NULL value is equal to another NULL value

– They are given ranks according to

5.1 Ranking in SQL

• The ASC | DESC options provided for measures

• The NULLS FIRST | NULLS LAST clause

MONTH SOLD NULL FIRST

• Top k ranking

– By enclosing the RANK function in a sub-query and then applying a filter condition outside the sub-query

5.1 Ranking in SQL

SELECT * FROM

(SELECT country_id,

SUM(amount_sold) SALES,

RANK() OVER (ORDER BY SUM(amount_sold) DESC ) AS COUNTRY_RANK

FROM sales, products, customers, times, channels

WHERE ... GROUP BY country_id)

WHERE COUNTRY_RANK <= 5;

• NTILE

– Not a part of SQL99 standards but adopted by major vendors

– Splits a set into equal groups

It divides an ordered partition into buckets and assigns a

5.1 NTILE

• It divides an ordered partition into buckets and assigns a bucket number to each row in the partition

• Buckets are calculated so that each bucket has exactly the same number of rows assigned to it or at most 1 row more than the others

• SELECT … NTILE(3) OVER (ORDER BY sales) NT_3 FROM …

• MDX (MultiDimensional eXpressions)

– Developed by Microsoft

• Not really brilliant

• But adopted by major OLAP providers due to Microsoft's market leader position

5.1 MDX

market leader position

– Used in

• OLE DB for OLAP (ODBO) with API support

• XML for Analysis (XMLA): specification of web services for OLAP

• Similar to SQL syntax

– SELECT

5.1 MDX

SELECT {Deutschland, Niedersachsen, Bayern, Frankfurt} ON COLUMNS,

{Qtr1.CHILDREN, Qtr2, Qtr3} ON ROWS

FROM SalesCube

WHERE (Measures.Sales, Time.[2008], Products.[All Products]);

– SELECT

• axes dimensions, on columns and rows

– FROM

• Data source cube specification

• If joined, data cubes must share dimensions

– WHERE

• Slicer - restricts the data area

• Lists– Enumeration of elementary nodes from different classification levels

• E.g. {Deutschland, Niedersachsen, [Frankfurt am Main], USA}

• Generated elements– Methods which lead to new sets of the classification levels

• Deutschland.CHILDREN generates: {Niedersachsen, Bayern,…}• Niedersachsen.PARENT generates Deutschland

5.1 MDX

• Niedersachsen.PARENT generates Deutschland• Time.Quarter.MEMBERS generates all the elements of the classification level

• Functional generation of sets– DESCENDENT(USA, Cities): children of the provided classification

levels– GENERATE ({USA, France}, DESCENDANTS(Geography.CURRENT,

Cities)): enumerates all the cities in USA and France

• Sets nesting combines individual coordinates to reduce dimensionality

5.1 MDX

SELECT CROSSJOIN({Deutschland, Sachsen, Hannover, BS}{Ikeea, [H&M-Möbel]})

ON COLUMNS,

{Qtr1.CHILDREN, Qtr2} ON ROWS

FROM salesCube

WHERE (Measure.Sales, Time.[2008], Products.[All Products]);

• Relative selection– Uses the order in the dimensional structures

• Time.[2008].LastChild : last quarter of 2008• [2008].NextMember : {[2009]}• [2008].[Qtr4].Nov.Lead(2) : Jan 2009• [2006]:[2009] represents [2006], .., [2009]

• Methods for hierarchy information extraction

5.1 MDX

• Methods for hierarchy information extraction• Deutschland.LEVEL : country• Time.LEVELS(1) : Year

• Brackets• {}: Sets, e.g. {Hannover, BS, John}• []: text interpretation of numbers, empty spaces between words or other

symbols– E.g. [2008], [Frankfurt am Main], [H&M]

• (): tuple e.g. WHERE (Measure.Sales, Time.[2008], Products.[All Products])

• Special functions and filters

– Special functions TOPCOUNT(), TOPPERCENT(), TOPSUM()

• E.g.

5.1 MDX

SELECT {Time.CHILDREN} ON COLUMNS,

{TOPCOUNT(Deutschland.CHILDREN, 5, Sales.turnover)} ON ROWS

– Filter function

• E.g.

{TOPCOUNT(Deutschland.CHILDREN, 5, Sales.turnover)} ON ROWS

FROM salesCube

WHERE (Measure.Sales, Time.[2008]);

SELECT FILTER(Deutschland.CHILDREN, ([2008], Turnover) > ([2007], Turnover))

ON COLUMNS, Quarters.MEMBERS ON ROWS

FROM salesCube

WHERE (Measure.Sales, Time.[2008], Products.Electronics);

• Time series

– Set Values Expressions

• Choosing time intervals

– PERIODSTODATE(Quarter, [15-Nov-2008]): returns 1.10.-15.11.2008

– LASTPERIODS(3, [Sept-2008]): returns [June-2008], [July-2008], [Aug-

5.1 MDX

LASTPERIODS(3, [Sept-2008]): returns [June-2008], [July-2008], [Aug-2008]

– Member Value Expressions

• Pre-periods

– PARALLELPERIOD(Year, 3, [Sep-2008]): returns [Sep-2005]

– Numerical functions

• COVARIANCE, CORRELATION

• LINEAR REGRESSION

• XMLA (XML for Analysis) – Most recent attempt at a standardized API for OLAP– Allows client applications to talk to multi-dimensional data

sources– In XMLA, mdXML is a MDX wrapper for XML – Underlying technologies

5.1 mdXML

– Underlying technologies• XML, SOAP, HTTP

– Service primitives• DISCOVER

– Retrieve information about available data sources, data schemas, server infos…

• EXECUTE – Transmission of a query and the corresponding conclusion

• Now we know

– What OLAP looks like

• From the outside

• From the inside

– Multidimensional

• Array technique

• Relational Implementation

– Main goals:

• As low loss of semantically knowledge as

possible e.g., classification hierarchies

• The translation from multidimensional queries must be

5.2 Implementation

• The translation from multidimensional queries must be efficient

• The RDBMS should be able to run the translated queries efficiently

• The maintenance of the present tables should be easy and fast e.g., when loading new data

• Going from multidimensional to relational– Representations for cubes, dimensions, classification

hierarchies and attributes

– Implementation of cubes without the classification hierarchies is easy

5.2 Implementation

hierarchies is easy• A table can be seen as a cube

• A column of a table can be considered as a dimension mapping

• A tuple in the table represents a cell in the cube

• If we interpret only a part of the columns as dimensions we can use the rest as measures

• The resulting table is called a fact table

• Snowflake-schema

– Simple idea: use a table for each classification level

• This table includes the ID of the classification level and other attributes

• 2 neighbor classification levels are connected by 1:n

5.2 Snowflake Schema

• 2 neighbor classification levels are connected by 1:n connections e.g., from n Days to 1 Month

• The measures of a cube are maintained in a fact table

• Besides measures, there are also the foreign key IDs for the smallest classification levels

• Snowflake?

– The facts/measures are in the center

– The dimensions spread out in each direction and branch out with their

branch out with their granularity

• Snowflake schema – Advantages

– With a snowflake schema the size of the dimension tables will be reduced and queries will run faster

• If a dimension is very sparse (most measures corresponding to the dimension have no data)

corresponding to the dimension have no data)

• And/or a dimension has long list of attributes which may be queried

• Snowflake schema – Disadvantages

– Fact tables are responsible for 90% of the storage requirements

• Thus, normalizing the dimensions usually lead to insignificant improvements

improvements

– Normalization of the dimension tables can reduce the performance of the DW because it leads to a largenumber of tables

• E.g., when connecting dimensions with coarse granularity these tables are joined with each other during queries

• A query which connects Product category with Year and Country is clearly not performant (10 tables need to be connected)

• Advantages

– Improves query performance for often-used data

– Less tables and simple structure

– Efficient query processing with regard to dimensions

5.2 Star Schema

Efficient query processing with regard to dimensions

• Disadvantages

– In some cases, high overhead of redundant data

• Snowflake vs. Star

5.2 Snowflake vs. Star

– The structure of the classifications are expressed in table schemas

– The fact table and dimension tables are

– The entire classification is expressed in just one table

– The fact table is normalized while in the dimension table the normalization is broken

dimension tables are normalized

the normalization is broken

• This leads to redundancy of information in the dimension tables

• When should we go from Snowflake to star?

– Heuristics-based decision

• When typical queries relate to coarser granularity (like product category)

• When the volume of data in the dimension tables is

5.2 Snowflake to Star

• When the volume of data in the dimension tables is relatively low compared to the fact table

– In this case a star schema leads to negligible overhead through redundancy, but performance is improved

• When modifications on the classifications are rare compared to insertion of fact data

– In this case these modifications controlled through the data load process of the ETL reducing the risk of data anomalies

• Snowflake or Star?

– It depends on the necessity

• Fast query processing or efficient space usage

– However, most of the time a mixed form

5.2 Do we have a winner?

is used

• The Starflake schema: some dimensionsstay normalized corresponding to thesnowflake schema, while others are denormalized according to the star schema

• The Starflake schema– The decision on how to deal with

the dimensions is influenced by • Frequency of the modifications: if the dimensions change

often, normalization leads to better results

5.2 Our forces combined

often, normalization leads to better results

• Amount of dimension elements: the bigger the dimension tables, the more space normalization saves

• Number of classification levels in a dimension: more classification levels introduce more redundancy in the star schema

• Materialization of aggregates for the dimension levels: if the aggregates are materialized, a normalization of the dimension can bring better response time

• Galaxies

– In pratice we usually have more measures described by different dimensions

• Thus, more fact tables

5.2 Multidimensional?

• Multidimensional queries have to be first translated to the relational representation

• A direct interaction with the relational data model is not fit for the end user

• Data structures

– The basic data structure for multidimensional data storage is the array

– The elementary data structures are the cubes and the dimensions

• C=((D1, …, Dn), (M1, …, Mm))

– The storage is intuitive as arrays of arrays, physically linearized

• Goal:– define the actual storage architecture– decide on how the data is to be accessed and how it is

arranged– Again, this will be discussed in more detail in the lecture
