what is aggregate navigation?

Answer Posted / sam

To receive the performance benefit offered by an aggregate
schema, a query must be written to use the aggregate.
Rewriting the sample query was a simple matter of
substituting the name of the aggregate fact table for that
of the base fact table. This may be easy for technical
personnel, but can prove confusing for an end user. The
complexity grows as additional aggregate tables are added.
Technical and business users alike may err in assessing
which table will provide the best performance. And, if more
aggregate tables are added or old ones removed, existing
queries must be rewritten.
The key to avoiding these pitfalls lies in implementation
of an aggregate navigator.
A component of the data warehouse infrastructure, the
aggregate navigator assumes the task of rewriting user
queries to utilize aggregate tables.
Users and developers need only be concerned with the base
schema. At runtime, the aggregate navigator redirects the
query to the most efficient aggregate schema.
