What do you mean by evaluation expression?

 EVALUATION OF EXPRESSION

We have studied how individual relational operations are carried out. The obvious way to evaluate an expression is simply to evaluate one operation at a time, in an appropriate order. Now we consider how to evaluate an expression containing multiple operations. There are two approaches to how a query execution tree can be evaluated:

Materialization: Compute the result of an evaluation primitive and materialize (store) the new relation on the disk.

 Pipelining: Pass on tuples to parent operations even while an operation is still being executed.

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?
