We just started using meta-cube for some of our OLAP projects, but I can't comment yet. It seems like a good product. OLAP is the current rage, but the good news is that XPS can handle not only OLAP, but a true relational data warehouse for those people creating complete decision support systems. The basic difference seems to be: Online - SMP hardware XPS - MPP hardware (like the IBM SP2) Good luck, (you are going to need it :-) --- Dirk Fromhein df@watershed.com http://www.watershed.com
