Microsoft recognized a rapid growth in multi-dimensional databases and on-line analytical processing (OLAP) tools. After all, people don't think in two dimensions. Real world questions like, "How were last year's monthly revenues at each store affected by back-order problems?" are more naturally handled by a multi-dimensional datastore than by a two-dimensional relational model.

Yes, Print Studio can connect to ODBC/OLE DB data sources using either a predefined DSN or UDL file, or by building a connection string.

Absolutely! You do not always need to create an ODBC Data Source to use ODBC Socket Server. By using an OLE DB Provier you can increase the speed of your application greatly. Just use the OLE DB Connection String instead of the usual ODBC Socket Server connection string. A sample OLE DB connection string is: Provider=SQLOLEDB.

Once you have completed development of an ODBC Driver using SimbaEngine SDK, simply use the following additional components with the ODBC Driver to create either a JDBC Driver, OLE DB Driver, or an ADO.NET Data Provider:

Generally we are only recruiting translators, so unless you are a translator, the answer is no. We are always looking for Japanese to English translators. While we occasionally release non-English subs, we are currently NOT looking for Spanish / German / Dutch / Norwegian / Swedish translators, another words, no languages with roman alphabet. We will review other translation offers on a case-by-case basis.

OLAP is an abbreviation of On-line Analytical Processing. It is a category of software technology that enables analysts, managers and executives to gain insight into data through fast, consistent, interactive access to a wide variety of possible views of information that has been transformed from raw data to reflect the real dimensionality of the enterprise as understood by the user.

OLAP Browser is a software application that allows you to browse data cubes. OLAP Browser is a reporting and analysis system. With OLAP Browser you can perform online analysis and create reports.

Ask Microsoft, or the manufacturer of the specific application you're dealing with. In-process servers are generally much faster than executable-driven OLE servers, but are rare. For example, CorelDRAW starts up (and loads the entire program into memory) to serve an object. And, a new instance is started if Corel is already running, rather than simply calling the existing program to do the work.

OLAP dimension is a concept hierarchy where superconcepts correspond to abstract representation with low details while subconcepts correspond to detailed representation. The items are values of this OLAP dimension representing objects with different levels of details.

OLAP measure is defined precisely like OLAP dimension, i.e., it is a concept hierarchy. Normally however, OLAP dimension has a numeric type so that its items can be arithmetically aggregated. In general case the measure could be non-numeric or even multidimensional where it is a product of several concepts (like dimensions).

OLAP cube is the product of the current concepts chosen for each dimension, which consists of a combination of all items from the current concepts. Each such combination of items is called a cell. By applying drill down and roll up we can change the current concepts and thus change the OLAP cube and its granularity.

OLAP representation is function, which assigns one measure value for each item from the OLAP cube. This means that for each combination of items from the concepts selected in the OLAP dimensions this function finds some item from the measure concept. In general case the measure is not necessarily numeric and then the function assigns any item to each cell in the OLAP cube.

OLE controls are the 32-bit successor to 16-bit VBX controls. Instead of being stored in a plain DLL and having functional interfaces, OLE controls rely on OLE automation. Hopefully this will make the interface more flexible and easier to use than VBXs. Although OLE controls use OLE, they are not object oriented. There is a flat set of properties you have access to and you can not apply OO techniques such as inheritance, polymorphism, etc.. to them.

The VCL is free to destroy and create controls whenever it needs to. Certain events, like changing the Scrollbars property for a TRichEdit control, cause this to happen. When this does happen, the connection between the TRichEdit control and TRichEditOleCallback class is lost – the "new" Rich Edit no longer calls the TRichEditOleCallback functions that provide the OLE support. See the paper titled Window handles vs.

OLAP is software for manipulating multidimensional data from a variety of sources. The data is often stored in a data warehouse. OLAP software helps a user create queries, views, representations and reports. OLAP tools can provide a "front-end" for a data-driven DSS.

The terms data warehousing and OLAP are often used interchangeably. As the definitions suggest, warehousing refers to the organization and storage of data from a variety of sources so that it can be analyzed and retrieved easily. OLAP deals with the software and the process of analyzing data, managing aggregations, and partitioning information into cubes for in-depth analysis, retrieval and visualization.

No. OLAP Browser was designed for ease of use. OLAP Browser uses intuitive access screens to put the right information in the hands of those that need it from Clerk to CEO. But power was not sacrificed for ease of use. OLAP Browser delivers robust analysis capabilities along with point and click reporting.

All you need is a windows environment to run OLAP Browser. The OLAP Browser application even includes a sample data cube to allow you see it in action and highlight its capabilities without your own data cube.

You can choose a theme setting for OLAP Browser. The theme setting allows you to choose different color and shading schemes for the Grid View.
