Fun =) My implementation of rollup in DBMS qd work as your imagine there! =)
Also, multiply sort of source we take for CUBE implementation, but
this hard for support (sort in group by - it's bloat).
As result we have merge implementation of group by, rollup, and window
functions with some common code - it's way for grouping of source,
Hash implementation group xxx on different hash-tables (with different
keys) it's very expensive (require many memory for keys).
I hope continue my work, after end of time trouble on work =( (bad
TPC-H perfomance)
