approach?

Which of the following is not a CUBE operation?
ANSI SQL
If actual data structure does not confirm to documented formats then it is called:
Semantically dirty data
This technique can be used when a column from one table is frequently accessed in
a large scale join in conjunction with
Adding redundant column
“Header size is reduced, allowing more rows per block, thus reducing I/O”. The
above statement is TRUE with respect to:
Vertical splitting
Gives total view of an organization.
