So far as i can see, it seems that Oracle's Star Query functionality is useless unless your fact table table has only a few keys, and you use ALL the keys in a query.
If you have more than say, five key fields, it is unreasonable to create a concatenated index on all of them and also to expect users to always create query's based on values for all of those key fields.

How have others implemented Data Mart Indexes?
