In addition, automated data loading and cube building is available through the use of a new administration interface called the SAS OLAP Cube Studio, which was developed using Java technology. OLAP queries are performed using the Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query language in client applications that are connected to the OLAP Server by using the SQL Pass-Through Facility for OLAP, which is designed to process MDX queries within the PROC SQL environment. open access technologies such as OLE DB for OLAP, ADO MD, and Java. Note: This section describes the features of the SAS OLAP Server that are new or enhanced since SAS 8.2. R Details There are two new tools for data loading and cube building: The OLAP procedure, in addition to cube building, includes options for handling ragged hierarchies, defining global calculated members and named sets, assigning properties to levels, and optimizing cube creation and query performance. It also supports multiple hierarchies and drill-through tables. The SAS OLAP Cube Studio is an alternative Java interface to the OLAP procedure. This interface is also integrated with SAS ETL Studio. Server performance is recorded and analyzed by using the Application Response Measurement (ARM) system. The new multi-threaded data storage and server functionality provide faster cube performance. The data can be stored in a multidimensional form (MOLAP) or in a form that includes existing aggregations from presummarized data sources. The metadata structure is improved, and metadata is stored with the cube. vi What’s New Caching and logging can be enabled or disabled. Support for ad hoc calculations and time dimensions is improved. An SQL Pass-Through Facility for OLAP is available in SAS for use in querying cubes. Aggregations can be added to or deleted from existing cubes. Note: Version 8 of the SAS OLAP Server can be used with SAS 9. For help, see “V8 SAS OLAP Server” in SAS System Help and Documentation.

Online Analytical Processnding (OLAP) is a technology that is used to create decision support software. OLAP enables application users to quickly analyze information that has been summarized into multidimensional views and hierarchies. By summarizing predicted queries into multidimensional views prior to run time, OLAP tools provide the benefit of increased performance over traditional database access tools. Most of the resource-intensive calculation that is required to summarize the data is done before a query is submitted. Data Storage and Access Decision makers are asked to make timely and accurate decisions that are based on the past performance and behavior of an organization as well as on future trends and directives. To make effective business decisions, business analysts must have access to the data that their company generates and responds to. This access must include timely queries, summaries, and reviews of numerous levels and combinations of large, recurrent amounts of data. The information that business analysts review determines the quality of their decisions. Organizations usually have databases and data stores that maintain repeated and frequent business transaction data. This provides simple yet detailed storage and retrieval of specific data events. However, these data storage systems are not well suited for analytical summaries and queries that are typically generated by decision 2 Benefits of OLAP R Chapter 1 makers. For decision makers to reveal hidden trends, inconsistencies, and risks in a business, they must be able to maintain a certain degree of momentum when querying the data. An answer to one question usually leads to additional questions and review of the data. Simple data stores do not successfully support this type of querying. A second type of storage, the data warehouse, is better suited for this. Data is maintained and organized so that complicated queries and summaries can be run. OLAP further organizes and summarizes specific categories and subsets of data from the data warehouse. This results in a robust and detailed level of data storage with efficient and fast query returns. SAS OLAP cubes can be built from either partially or completely denormalized data warehouse tables. Stored, precalculated summarizations called aggregations, can be added to the cube to improve cube access performance. Aggregations can either be pre-built relational tables, or you can let the cube create its own optimized aggregates. Benefits of OLAP The ability to have coherent and relevant information is the reason OLAP has gained in popularity. OLAP systems help reveal evasive inconsistencies and trends in data that might not have been seen before. OLAP users can intuitively search data that has been consolidated and summarized within the OLAP structure. In addition, OLAP tools allow for tasks such as sales forecasting, asset analysis, resource planning, budgeting, and risk assessment. OLAP systems also provide the following benefits: fast access, calculations, and summaries of an organization’s data support for multiple user access and multiple queries the ability to handle multiple hierarchies and levels of data the ability to pre-summarize and consolidate data for faster query and reporting functions the ability to expand the number of dimensions and levels of data as a business grows. To fully understand the benefits of OLAP and the details of its effective implementation, it helps to examine the technology from two perspectives—first, from that of the users and second, from that of the information technology (IT) administrators who are responsible for OLAP implementation.

  • Beyond Relational Databases
    EXPERT ANALYSIS BY MARCOS ALBE, SUPPORT ENGINEER, PERCONA Beyond Relational Databases: A Focus on Redis, MongoDB, and ClickHouse Many of us use and love relational databases… until we try and use them for purposes which aren’t their strong point. Queues, caches, catalogs, unstructured data, counters, and many other use cases, can be solved with relational databases, but are better served by alternative options. In this expert analysis, we examine the goals, pros and cons, and the good and bad use cases of the most popular alternatives on the market, and look into some modern open source implementations. Beyond Relational Databases Developers frequently choose the backend store for the applications they produce. Amidst dozens of options, buzzwords, industry preferences, and vendor offers, it’s not always easy to make the right choice… Even with a map! !# O# d# "# a# `# @R*7-# @94FA6)6 =F(*I-76#A4+)74/*2(:# ( JA$:+49>)# &-)6+16F-# (M#@E61>-#W6e6# &6EH#;)7-6<+# &6EH# J(7)(:X(78+# !"#$%&'( S-76I6)6#'4+)-:-7# A((E-N# ##@E61>-#;E678# ;)762(# .01.%2%+'.('.$%,3( @E61>-#;(F7# D((9F-#=F(*I## =(:c*-:)U@E61>-#W6e6# @F2+16F-# G*/(F-# @Q;# $%&## @R*7-## A6)6S(77-:)U@E61>-#@E-N# K4E-F4:-A%# A6)6E7(1# %49$:+49>)+# @E61>-#'*1-:-# @E61>-#;6<R6# L&H# A6)6#'68-# $%&#@:6F521+#M(7#@E61>-#;E678# .761F-#;)7-6<#LNEF(7-7# S-76I6)6#=F(*I# A6)6/7418+# @ !"#$%&'( ;H=JO# ;(\X67-#@D# M(7#J6I((E# .761F-#%49#A6)6#=F(*I# @ )*&+',"-.%/( S$%=.#;)7-6<%6+-# =F(*I-76# LF6+21+-671># ;G';)7-6<# LF6+21#[(*:I# @E61>-#;"# @E61>-#;)(7<# H618+E61-# *&'+,"#$%&'$#( .761F-#%49#A6)6#@EEF46:1-#

The management of malaria-related data from heterogeneous, autonomous, and distributed data sources poses unique challenges and requirements. Although online data storage systems exist that address specific malaria-related issues, a globally integrated online resource to address different aspects of the disease does not exist. In this article, we describe the design, implementation, and applications of a multi- dimensional, online analytical processing data warehouse, named the VecNet Data Warehouse (VecNet-DW). It is the first online, globally-integrated platform that provides efficient search, retrieval and visualization of historical, predictive, and static malaria- related data, organized in data marts.

  • Building an Effective Data Warehousing for Financial Sector
    Automatic Control and Information Sciences, 2017, Vol. 3, No. 1, 16-25 Available online at http://pubs.sciepub.com/acis/3/1/4 ©Science and Education Publishing DOI:10.12691/acis-3-1-4 Building an Effective Data Warehousing for Financial Sector José Ferreira1, Fernando Almeida2, José Monteiro1,* 1Higher Polytechnic Institute of Gaya, V.N.Gaia, Portugal 2Faculty of Engineering of Oporto University, INESC TEC, Porto, Portugal *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This article presents the implementation process of a Data Warehouse and a multidimensional analysis of business data for a holding company in the financial sector. The goal is to create a business intelligence system that, in a simple, quick but also versatile way, allows the access to updated, aggregated, real and/or projected information, regarding bank account balances. The established system extracts and processes the operational database information which supports cash management information by using Integration Services and Analysis Services tools from Microsoft SQL Server. The end-user interface is a pivot table, properly arranged to explore the information available by the produced cube. The results have shown that the adoption of online analytical processing cubes offers better performance and provides a more automated and robust process to analyze current and provisional aggregated financial data balances compared to the current process based on static reports built from transactional databases.

  • What Is OLAP (Online Analytical Processing): Cube, Operations & Types What Is Online Analytical Processing?
    What is OLAP (Online Analytical Processing): Cube, Operations & Types What is Online Analytical Processing? OLAP is a category of software that allows users to analyze information from multiple database systems at the same time. It is a technology that enables analysts to extract and view business data from different points of view. OLAP stands for Online Analytical Processing. Analysts frequently need to group, aggregate and join data. These operations in relational databases are resource intensive. With OLAP data can be pre-calculated and pre-aggregated, making analysis faster. OLAP databases are divided into one or more cubes. The cubes are designed in such a way that creating and viewing reports become easy. OLAP cube: Ahmed Yasir Khan Page 1 of 12 At the core of the OLAP, concept is an OLAP Cube. The OLAP cube is a data structure optimized for very quick data analysis. The OLAP Cube consists of numeric facts called measures which are categorized by dimensions. OLAP Cube is also called the hypercube. Usually, data operations and analysis are performed using the simple spreadsheet, where data values are arranged in row and column format. This is ideal for two- dimensional data. However, OLAP contains multidimensional data, with data usually obtained from a different and unrelated source. Using a spreadsheet is not an optimal option. The cube can store and analyze multidimensional data in a logical and orderly manner. How does it work? A Data warehouse would extract information from multiple data sources and formats like text files, excel sheet, multimedia files, etc. The extracted data is cleaned and transformed.

  • Improving Traveling Habits Using an OLAP Cube
    Improving traveling habits using an OLAP cube Development of a business intelligence system Marcus Hellman Marcus Hellman Spring 2016 Master Thesis in Computing Science, 30 hp Supervisor: Anders Broberg Extern Supervisor: Kim Nilsson Examiner: Henrik Bjorklund¨ Umea˚ University, Department of Computing Science Abstract The aim of this thesis is to improve the traveling habits of clients using the SpaceTime system when arranging their travels. The improvement of traveling habits refers to lowering costs and emissions generated by the travels. To do this, a business intelligence system, including an OLAP cube, were created to provide the clients with feedback on how they travel. This to make it possible to see if they are improving and how much they have saved, both in money and emissions. Since these kind of systems often are quite complex, studies on best practices and how to keep such systems agile were performed to be able to provide a system of high quality. During this project, it was found that the pre-study and design phase were just as challenging as the creation of the designed components. The result of this project was a business intelligence system, including ETL, a Data warehouse, and an OLAP cube that will be used in the SpaceTime system as well as mock-ups presenting how data from the OLAP cube could be presented in the SpaceTime web-application in the future. Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank SpaceTime and Dohi for giving me the opportunity to do this the- sis. Also, I would like to thank my supervisors Anders Broberg and Kim Nilsson for all the help during this thesis project, providing valuable feedback on my thesis report throughout the project as well as guiding me through the introduction and development of the system.

(Tech.) Marko Nikula M.Sc. (Tech) Newer database technologies, such as in-memory databases, have largely forgone query optimization. In this thesis, we presented a use case for query optimization for an in-memory column-store database management system used for both on- line analytical processing and on-line transaction processing. To date, the system in question has used a na¨ıve query optimizer for deciding on join order. We went through related literature on the history and evolution of database technology, focusing on query optimization. Based on this, we analyzed the current system and presented improvements for its query processing abilities. We implemented a new query optimizer and experimented with it, seeing how it performed on several queries, concluding that it is a successful improvement
