Materialized view selection in data warehousing: A survey

Abstract

This study presents the critical survey of the methodologies to select materialized view in more efficient way. In this study, we are summarizing all these methodologies with critical analysis. Advanced solutions are particularly focusing the evolutionary optimization methods. We have analyzed and compartmentalized the available literature on the basis of relevant evaluation parameters. Important books, Ph.D thesis, links, etc. are also given in study. To work out this study we have gone through more than fifty research papers. This study may be helpful to the researchers, who are working in the domain of the Data Warehouse focusing on the materialized view selection. © 2009 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
