To drill down through a series of ], for example, on a desktop means to move through the hierarchy of folders to find a specific file.

Drilling down through a ] involves accessing information by starting with a general category and requesting more specific information through successive database queries, with each query informing the next, and increasing ].

In a ] the drill down involves grouping ] and referencing some ] possibly used to filter and/or group the data. When multiple dimensions are ] it is possibile to do ''drill-across'' multiple dimensions: this means doing drill down of data referencing multiple separate dimensions that share a column bearing the same name and meaning.

For an alternative data-extraction metaphor, see ].

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
  • To a related topic: This is a redirect to an article about a similar topic.
    • Redirects from related topics are different than redirects from related words, because a related topic is more likely to warrant a full and detailed description in the target article. If this redirect's subject is notable, then also tag it with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
