This market-basket analysis problem isn't for the faint of heart. Use the FoodMart 2000 Sales cube to determine which 10 non-beer products customers purchased most frequently in the same transaction with beer products. For this problem, I define a transaction as a unique combination of a customer, a store, and a month.

Here's a hint: Try to use the concepts in the main article to make your query more efficient. The answer I came up with ran for 3 minutes on my 1GHz laptop.
