OLAP Solutions - Building Multidimensional Information Systems

Abstract

From the Publisher: Although many commercial OLAP products are readily available -- as stand-alone tools and, increasingly, in close association with relational databases -- OLAP remains a difficult and complex technology to master. The second edition of Thomsen's classic OLAP Solutions provides a clear and comprehensive explanation of the concepts and best techniques for deploying OLAP -- no matter what tools you're using. This edition is thoroughly revised, offering expanded coverage of logical issues such as dimensional hierarchies, as well as physical issues of data storage, access, and calculation. Thomsen has also created an entirely new application section that provides a computational cross-value chain model of ten interconnected business processes within the context of a manufacturing company. The practical methods and formulas you'll learn are useful no matter what commercial OLAP tool(s) you use.
