Request Materials for OLAP - RDBMS
Posted in 1994
Topics: Performance & Tuning
I am currently doing my project concerning development of relational databases management systems with particularly focus on On-line Analytical Processing (Olap) theory and products. As Olap is very new in the market at this moment, I find it difficult to gather materials concerning my project. Please kindly give me your valuable advice and if possible forward any useful stuff to me. I got a list of references from Daniel Druker, but I cannot get it from my university library. I will be grateful if you can forward to me by email. REQUESTED READINGS ================== Finkelstein, Richard, "Understanding the need for On-Line Analytical Servers" Performance Computing Inc., 1994 This white paper discusses the need for a seperate class of servers for analytical processing. DBMS Magazine Interview "The Doctor of DSS", DBMS Magazine, July 1994. Ralph Kimball discusses his experiences at Red Brick and Metaphor, two of the seminal vendors in the DSS industry. McGill, "Multidimensionality - An alternative database format," April 1994. A detailed theoretical comparison of relational vs. multidimensional databases. Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
