This presentation will describe the components of Oracle OLAP. Armed with information answering the questions “What is an analytic workspace?” and “What metadata is required to support the Java OLAP API and BI Beans?”, a designer will be able to design a data warehouse or data mart for use by a business intelligence application. In addition, a manager will understand what options are possible and how to gain maximum value from a data warehouse or data mart. In a live demonstration, we will show how Discoverer for OLAP or another BI application can use Oracle OLAP to answer real business questions.
