Visual Basic Developers Guide to Olap and Data Mining with Sql Server 2000

OLAP (online analytic processing) lets database users consolidate and summarize large quantities of data residing in a data warehouse. OLAP also offers powerful analytical tools that can identify underlying trends within data. SQL Server has integrated OLAP services, and this text covers the combined package for experienced Visual Basic programmers. It includes information on advanced programming topics such as: querying cubes using MDX; building custom solutions with ADOMD; and tying into COM interfaces with DSO. The CD contains sample data-mart databases, evaluation copies of third-party data visualization tools and an evaluation copy of SQL Server 2000, plus code samples.
