whitepaper Best Practices IBM DB2 Multi-Dimensional Clustering in SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI)2006-11-14 IBM
  Multi-Dimensional Clustering (MDC) is a unique feature of IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (DB2 LUW) that allows physically clustering the data in a table along multiple dimensions. This feature is especially beneficial for query performance in business intelligence applications that use star and snowflake schemas and process large amounts of data with restrictions on several dimensions. MDC has been integrated in SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI) applications. This paper provides an overview of MDC and its implementation in SAP NetWeaver BI. It gives guidelines and recommendations for selecting MDC dimensions for SAP NetWeaver BI objects and it shows the performance improvements that can be achieved with MDC.

whitepaper Privacy-Preserving Verification of Aggregate Queries on Outsourced Databases2006-11-10 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  It is often desirable to be able to guarantee the integrity of historical data, ensuring that any subsequent modifications to the data can be detected. It would be especially convenient to extend such proofs of integrity to certain computations performed later using the historic data. The authors approach this question in the context of outsourced databases, where a data owner delegates the ability to answer users' queries to a service provider, and distrustful users may desire to verify the integrity of responses to their queries on the data. They present a solution for integrity verification of database aggregate queries, such as SUM and MAX. They design proofs of correctness and completeness of aggregate results.
