White Paper Abstract:
OLAP cubes in Oracle Database 11g provide organizations with the means to improve the business intelligence applications they already use with improved query performance and analytic content. Using cube-organized materialized views, applications transparently access summary data managed within the cube for an immediate improvement in query performance. SQL applications can also be enhanced with the rich analytic content that is embedded within the cube. Simple SQL access to the analytic content of the cube greatly improves developer productivity and simplifies application development. The OLAP Option is embedded within Oracle Database 11g that your organization already uses. As an embedded solution, OLAP cubes benefit from the architecture and features that make Oracle the leading enterprise relational database. Oracle cubes are highly secure, scalable and manageable. Organizations leverage the database, server computers and skills they already for an accessible and cost effective OLAP solution.
