Teach yourself to use SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services
for business intelligence-one step at a time. You'll
start by building your understanding of the business
intelligence platform enabled by SQL Server and the
Microsoft Office System, highlighting the role of
Analysis Services. Then, you'll create a simple
multidimensional OLAP cube and progressively add features
to help improve, secure, deploy, and maintain an Analysis
Services database. You'll explore core Analysis Services
2008 features and capabilities, including dimension,
cube, and aggregation design wizards; a new attribute
relationship designer; designer AMO warnings; and using
dynamic management views to monitor resources. And as you
complete each lesson, you can hone your skills using the
practice exercises from the companion CD. Plus, you can
review and download code samples illustrating the
author's own, professional techniques-direct from the
companion Web site.
