Data retreival framework and use thereof

A method, implemented in a computing system comprising at least one hardware processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one hardware processor, the method comprising:

• receiving user input providing a query request requesting execution of a query associated with a user interface query model;
• converting the query request to be executable using at least one analytical query model object;
• submitting the query request in an analytical protocol to a virtual data model;
• converting the query request to be used with an analytic query defined in the virtual data model;
• executing the query request using the analytic query against a data store;
• and
• returning query execution results to a user interface layer associated with the user interface query model in response to the executing the query request.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising:

• computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system comprising at least one hardware processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one hardware processor, cause the computing system to receive user input providing a query request requesting execution of a query associated with a user interface query model;
• computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing system, cause the computing system to convert the query request to be executable using at least one analytical query model object;
• computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing system, cause the computing system to submit the query request in an analytical protocol to a virtual data model;
• computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing system, cause the computing system to convert the query request to be used with an analytic query defined in the virtual data model;
• computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing system, cause the computing system to execute the query request using the analytic query against a data store;
• and
• computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing system, cause the computing system to return query execution results to a user interface layer associated with the user interface query model in response to the executing the query request.
