| 20110295836 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING VALUE HIERARCHIES, RAGGED HIERARCHIES AND SKIP-LEVEL HIERARCHIES IN A BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SERVER - A business intelligence (BI) server and repository are described which support a set of hierarchical relationships among the data. The BI server receives user input specifying a set of parent-child or other ancestral relationship among a set of data in a data source. The BI server generates a set of SQL queries and executes the queries to pre-populate a set of tables which specify the parent child relationships among the data in the data source. One such table is a parent-child relationship closure table that defines the inter-member relationships among the data members. Once the tables are populated, the BI server uses the closure tables to answer queries that require knowledge of the ancestral relationships among data. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110295837 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT FOR DATA USED WITH A BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SERVER - A business intelligence (BI) server is described that supports data and schemas stored in multiple languages.

When the user logs in, a session object is created for the user, which maintains the state information. A session variable specifies the language currently being used by the user. The BI server can inspect this session variable to determine the language of the user and perform the lookup translations as necessary. For example, if the language used by the session is different from the language of the base table storing the necessary information, the BI server can perform a translation by invoking a lookup function. The execution of the lookup can include performing a join operation of the base table with the lookup table to yield a translated value requested by the query. | 12-01-2011 |

The data source can be relational, file storage based, multidimensional and other types. In accordance with an embodiment, the BI server can accept queries from the user that contain calculated members as a parameter. The calculated member is defined by an expression including multiple dimension members and one or more arithmetic operators. The BI server can parse and validate the query and rewrite the query for the data source. After the query is rewritten and optimized, it is executed against the data source and a set of results is received. | 12-01-2011 |
