LS,
I think the combination of the opensource project Mondrian and MonetDB would be a very strong couple. Especially given the history of MonetDB in the area of datamining.
However, the resources at the core team are insufficient at this point in time to embark on such a (short term) project. Perhaps someone in our user community is willing to take up the challenge and report on the problems encountered/ results obtained.
The core development teams is particularly interested in missing features, interfacing problems, and, ofcourse, performance problems.

I'm always happy to add support to Mondrian for another DBMS. The process is fairly well-worn, since we support several DBs already. It's best if someone familiar with the DBMS goes through the process, then I'll integrate the code and update the doc.
The process is:
1. Get the MondrianFoodMartLoader working for your DB.
2. Tweak Mondrian's SQL-generation facilities for the capabilities of your DB. Look at SqlQuery.Dialect and you will see the kinds of things that Mondrian cares about. (If your DB has a fairly expressive SQL, and driver provides the appropriate metadata so Mondrian knows what it's capable of, this step may be trivial.)
3. Add your database name as an option for the <SQL dialect="db"> element. (Code is in Mondrian.xml, and elsewhere.)
4. Get the Mondrian regression suite to run cleanly.
5. Provide some typical connect strings for me to put into mondrian.properties.
6. Give me a contact who is willing to run the regression suite on your DB before each release.
