date and time are not dimensions any more. they are mere lookup tables. for the solution to be published, you need to wait for some more time.In the mean while, go thru the impact analysis of the solution....

Yep, We are right there on the spot!
Executive Summary:
Now, We will see the impact of the model,and how it effects different industries:
1. date-time storage in truly relational manner, will force the database vendors to adopt the model,
a. it is truly relational.
b. year 10K problem will not be there at all.
2. Now, with the adoption of the model, DW/BI products will be hit badly.
a. date an time will not be treated as dimensions anymore, and they are mere lookup tables only.
b. In effect, they are just lookup tables, Aggregations are not required .
Performance statistics are needed to be incorporated here.
3. Extension of model with 'timezones' table (again it is also static and lookup with ~50
records) in every application, along with date-time, timezoneid also can be made an
attribute of transaction table, we can identify the origin of transaction.
4. DayLight settings can be interpreted as 1-M relation with geo-location data-model, which
means
a particular location can belong to different timezones within different time-period
intervals.
5. Data marts: As the origin of transaction source can be only one (always true!),
In fact, whatever the configurations for current dw/bi data sources, are nothing but,
hidden attributes of all the transaction coming from respective data sources.
6. In other words, the configuration properties are top level entities such as application ,
repository(alias of database/data source), which are applicable across all the transactions
for the unique combination of application and repository.
7. “Unique combination” is mentioned to cater all the use-cases, such as

a) stand alone application – standalone database
b) stand alone application – distributed database
c)distributed application – single database
d)distributed application – distributed databases
Hence, no need even for transactional replication and merge replication
1) for the management dashboard, Everything Live report ONLY, AS there is no need for
aggregations. No complicated Queries.
2) Yes, matter of concern is volumes of data.... here , the product with powerful partitioning features
and moderate prices will have the edge over it's competitors.
As, we touched almost every aspect of DW AREA, NOW, WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE BI
AREA...
A) BI Tools are known for their ability to drill down the data and able to generate reports for
related attributes and non- related attributes.
For the attributes related, event-wise reports can be generated using existing RDBMS Capabilities.
For the non- related attributes, still respective events can be associated with date and time of incidence,
and now, date and time are foreign keys to the calendar tables, there won't be any unrelated events.
As whole, any report/event, of management 's interest always time-bounded, needless to say, it is going to
change the “tomorrow”.
Simple logic: date-time are universal and the product does not have a “end-of-life”. It is ever green and as
long as universe remains, it lives.
Patent scope: across the globe.
Highlights:
No need of integration across the systems, as the origin of transaction is unique and date-time storage
format is also unique.
No need of DW/BI TOOLS T GET OLAP/MANAGERIAL REPORTS.
NO NEED OF REPLICATION AS WELL.

WHAT IT MEANS TO THE I.T. INDUSTRY:
A) EMPLOYMENT:PRIMALY, THE DW/B SPECIALISTS SHOULD ROLLUP THEIR BEDS AND
PACKUP
B)DATABASE VENDORS: THEY ARE SAVED ON HUGE INVESTMENTS, IF THEY HAVE NOT
SPEND...
FINALLY, ONE LAST POINT: VIRUS-SPAM CONTROL.
TILL NOW, DATABASE TIMING IS DEPENDANT ON OS TIMING. NOW, DATABASE CAN HAVE
IT'S OWN TIMING .
SEGRAGATION OF THESE TWO GIVES THE REATER SCOPE TO PROTECT FROM SECURITY
THREATS...
HOW IT GOES...
A) DB OBJECT STRUCTURE CAN BE REPRESETED AS CONTAINMENT HIERARCHY WHERE
MACHINE NAME AS ROOT, AND DB, SCHEMA, TABLES ARE BRANCH NODES AND COLUMNS
ARE LEAF NODES.
B)OS FILE STRUCTURE CANALSO BE REPRESENTED AS
CONTAINMENT HIERARCHY WHERE DRIVE PARTITION NAME AS ROOT, AND
DIRECTORIES, /FOLDERS ,CAB EXTENDED FILES ETC ARE BRANCH NODES AND .TXT, .LOG
FILES ARE LEAF NODES.
C)ON OS, WE CAN CREATE/READ/UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE FILES
AND SAME GOES FOR DB OBJECTS.
D) CREATE AND READ ARE PARENT NODES, AND VIEW, UPDATE , DELETE ACTIONS
CAN BE CHID NODES OF “READ”
BY TH WAY, ANY OBJECT (MAY BE IT'S FILE ON OS OR TABLE IN DB, THESE ARE THE ONLY
ACTIONS YOU CAN PERFORM).
PUT OGETHER, OCE, WE TAKE THE IMAGE OF OS DIRECTORY STRUCTURE INTO DB,
WE CAN CONTROL THE FILE CREATION,FILE READ OPERATIONS.
(EX: YOU RECEIVE A MAIL WHICH IS VIRUS CONTAiNER AND CLKING ON THE LINK
ATTEMPTS TO CREATE THE FILE ON OS,, STILL TYOU CAN TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS).
