| 1. A computer-implemented system for retrieval and processing of a data set from one or more data sources comprising:
a query structure assembly module for defining a query structure based upon a plurality of query assembly rules and a desired
data set, wherein the plurality of query assembly rules are being used by the query structure assembly module to evaluate
the desired data set;
a syntax assembly module for defining at least one query language statement based upon the defined query structure;
a process optimization module for evaluating processing options based upon a database schema associated with the data source,
the process optimization module including an intermediate data processing method module for evaluating a plurality of methods
for generating intermediate data sets within the data source(s) to determine a method for generating intermediate data sets
within the data source(s) for calculating the desired data result set; and
whereby at least one query language statement is assembled and run against the data source(s) to return the desired data result
set.
