Version Manager: A step towards Synthetic-Warehouse-Builder extension

  • Conference paper

  • 1409 Accesses

Abstract

To achieve vital advantages of simulating business scenarios, extensions are made to versioning concept by dividing alternative versions into two types, Materialized Alternative Versions and Virtual Alternative Versions. This paper presents querying method from multi-version data warehouse in the presence of real versions, materialized and virtual alternative versions. This is done by making extensions to our Synthetic Warehouse Builder with new component called Version Manager.Version manger with its confinement process divide query into smaller parts called mono-version queries; execute it on relevant and heterogeneous version/s and merging the result to present it for analysis. It is expected that, Version Manager is very useful for short term data requirements as well as rapidly changing requirements of simulating business alternatives.
