Anyone know of a good OLAP DML/DDL  tutorial?  (and NOT reference guide)

In addition to Analytic Workspace, I am trying to learn how to build cubes using just the OLAP DML / DDL language.
Oracle and others have published a great deal of reference material on the language of OLAP DML / DDL but I can't find any real tutorials that guide me logically thru the process of creating cubes and all that goes with it (defining dimensions, hierarchies, measures, calculations etc..) All the reference material is spread out in bits and pieces and difficult to efficiently learn from. Does anyone have any good OLAP DML / DDL tutorial links they could recommend? Thanks.

Thanks.This is a very difficult task. The OLAP DML/DDL only supports basic multidimensional variables, dimensions (very primitive), and relations. The externally visible cubes and dimensions are a construct of a lot of component objects (a dimension has many primitive dimensions and relations put together to create the higher level DIMENSION that goes with a cube; a cube has multiple variables and other pieces that get put together) in the AW, plus a bunch of metadata objects in the Oracle dictionary.
You really don't want to try to create your own and expect them to interact with the OLAPI interfaces. It is possible to construct your own version of things, but you'd also have to do your own view generation, etc. There are applications out there that are created from scratch, but they are completely from scratch (including whatever interactions they have via SQL). Whatever you create will not work with any of the Oracle-provided interfaces, nor the recently-announced Simba MDX package.

    Hi Guys 'n' Gals!
    I have a problem with my computer not going into 'Display Sleep' mode but actually goes into full Computer Sleep mode. Anyone know how to keep my Mac running software and not go into full sleep after I have set it to 'Never' go into 'Computer Sleep' within the 'energy saving' section!
    Any ideas guys?

  • Anyone know of a good AS3 fire effect tutorial?

    It needs to be realistic looking fire. I'd also like the
    option to attach it to objects/images in my flash file. I've
    searched google until I'm blue in the face and can only come up
    with either flash 8 or AS2 or something that is nothing like what
    I"m looking for.
    Even if its just a tutorial on how to make a box with
    realistic fire blazing inside of it I could use that for something.
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you seen Seb Lee Delisle's particles? He has an AS 3.0
    class for them and he's been able to mimic smoke, sparks, etc. You
    may be able to toy around with the class and get what you are
    looking for.

  • I can't switch apps on my iPhone 4.  I have 9.3 GB of free space out of 30 GB. Rebooting doesn't fix the problem.  Does anyone know of a good fix?

    I can't switch apps/programs on my iPhone 4.  Whatever app I'm in is the only app I can use unless I restart my iPhone.  Then I can choose a new app/program to use but then it's stuck on that app/program until I reboot my iPhone.  Syncing it with iTunes doesn't seem to fix the problem and I regularly close apps/programs so I never have many multi-tasking.
    This problem sometimes goes away for a brief period of time (an hour or two) but it's pretty much been this way for the past 48 hours.
    I have a 32 GB iphone 4 that has the following on it:  4.9 GB Audio, 8.2 GB Photos, 6.2 GB Apps, 0.58 GB Other, 9.3 GB Free.
    I am using iOS v 4.3.5
    Does anyone know of a good fix?

    You mentioned rebooting, have you tried a cold reboot? That is is holding the home and lock buttons down for about 15 seconds?
    Ignore the slider asking to turn off, just keep holding. Once it goes off continue to hold for about 10ish more seconds and it will eventually turn back on.
    Suggestion only.

  • Anyone know of a good way to move finalcut pro X to an external HD without loosing any of the project files?

    Anyone know of a good way to move finalcut pro X to an external HD without loosing any of the project files?

    If you're looking for improved performance, you should move your events and projects to an external FW800 or faster drive.
    The FCP X application itself should reside in your Applications folder on your system drive.
    If you're talking about backing up to another drive, I use a cloning application (SuperDuper) to clone my working drive to my backup drive two or three times a day.
    If you want to install FCP X on another computer, simply download it again from the App Store (using the same Apple ID you used to purchase the app).

  • Anyone know of a good TV (mini) antenna

    I have a Qosmio F20-136 Does anyone know of a good indoor tv aerial I can use to connect to the laptop. Any experiences of any good ones? I've heard of a DVB TV antenna, has anyone use one and got a good reception?

    Hello
    Unfortunately I can not give you some suggestion because I am also interested about that but without experience. I have checked a lot of internet dealers and really dont know which one will be the best choice.
    This one is very interesting to me http://www.freecom.com/ecProduct_detail.asp?ID=2234

    What's wrong with asking unix questions. Anyways,if

    think
    there is a solaris dev connection.
    What I meant was the solaris developer connection.
    Solaris is Sun's version of unix. just like this forum is part of the java developer connection I'm sure that they have a forum for unix.

  • Does anyone know of a good A3 photo scanner compatable with OS 10.8 mountain lion? I need it to scan watercolour artwork. I was interested in Microtek scanmaker 9800XL and also Epson Expression 10000 but neither are compatible. Thanks :-)

    How full is the hard drive that you are trying to save to? Not that it should matter, but have you tried scanning another document?
    Is the scanner plugged directly into the Mac? Try it that way.
    Disconnect all peripherals except keyboard, monitor, mouse and scanner and see if the problem goes away.

    Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie 11 version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto. I'm very familiar with how to do this in the pervious version, but it's no so intuitive in the new version.

    Has anyone tried this one.. I am not sure if I am allowed to post information about other products... so if I am not please delete this part of my message.

    I'm sorry to hear that.
    I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago.  I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
    Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
    Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all.  I can go weeks between syncs.
    Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist.  Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one. 
    Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff).  Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
    Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for.  It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.
