OLAP without Cubes. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Aug 2008, Pages: 72
In recent years information has steadily increased in
importance for modern day companies and
data-warehousing has been described by many as the
highest priority post-millennium IT project. As
progressive companies are complex and deal with and
in fast changing environments, oftentimes with a
rapidly growing database, questions regarding current
data designs and approaches arise. Can technologies
developed in the 1960s support today's and future
demands?
Author Sascha Mendack gives an introduction to the
associative model of data and how it could fulfil the
future requirements of modern data-warehousing and
reporting. He analyses the data model using the FASMI
test by Nigel Pendse and compares its advantages and
disadvantages with the well known multidimensional
data model. Following up the theoretical review he
reviews an OLAP application that uses the new data model.
This book is intended for everybody who is interested
in an introduction of the associative data model and
is looking for new alternatives and approaches in the
field of OLAP.
