A radical re-evaluation of the internal design giving primacy to the needs of complex analytics shows clear benefits in large databases for both single servers and in multi-node shared-disk grid computing. This design supports the trend to keep more years of more finely grained data online by ameliorating the data explosion problem. ©2005 Association for Computing Machinery
