When the terms “Data Warehousing” and “Online Analytical Processing” were coined in the 1990s by Kimball, Codd, and others, there was an obvious need for separating data and workload for operational transactional-style processing and decision-making implying complex analytical queries over large and historic data sets. Large data warehouse infrastructures have been set up to cope with the special requirements of analytical query answering for multiple reasons: For example, analytical thinking heavily relies on predefined navigation paths to guide the user through the data set and to provide different views on different aggregation levels.Multi-dimensional queries exploiting hierarchically structured dimensions lead to complex star queries at a relational backend, which could hardly be handled by classical relational systems.
