Hi All,

Can any body help me out in understanding the cube operator in the terasql.

Scenario:

I have a table 'Test' with 4 attributes (A,B,C,M);

if i query the table as

     select A, B, C, sum(M) from Test goupby cube(A,B,C);

The groupbys (ABC,AB*,A*C,*BC,A**,*B*,**C,***) will be computed.

Can anyone tell me how each of the above group-bys are computed Are they each computed on the fly from the table 'Test' or whether each of the group-by is computed in an hierarical order (For example A** group-by can be computed from AB* groupby).

Clarification on this will be appreciated.

Thank You

Pratap
