1. [1] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 OnLine Analytical Processing Seminar Presentation By Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 Under the guidance of Mr. Indraneel Mukhopadhyay

2. [2] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 What is OLAP OnLine Analytical Processing ia a technology that uses multidimensional view of aggregate data for quicker access to strategic information.

3. [3] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 How OLAP Helps It helps in decision making, business modeling, and operations research activities by transforming raw Data warehouse data into strategic information

4. [4] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 Four Main Characteristics of OLAP –Use multidimensional data analysis techniques –Provide advanced database support –Provide easy-to-use end user interfaces –Support client/server architecture

5. [5] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 Multidimensional Data Analysis Techniques –The processing of data in which data are viewed as part of a multidimensional structure. –Multidimensional view allows end users to consolidate or aggregate data at different levels.

6. [6] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 Multidimensional Data Analysis Relational databases contains lists of records whose information is organised into fields and is based on a row and column data format(one dimensional). However some relational tables where there is more than a one-to-one relationship between the fields lends itself to multidiensional represtation.

12. [12] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 Relational OLAP Relational On-Line Analytical Processing (ROLAP) provides OLAP functionality by using relational database and familiar relational query tools. Extensions to RDBMS  Multidimensional data schema support within the RDBMS  Data access language and query performance optimized for multidimensional data  Support for very large databases

13. [13] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 Multidimensional Data Schema Support within the RDBMS  Normalization of tables in relational technology is seen as a stumbling block to its use in OLAP systems.  DSS data tend to be non-normalized, duplicated, and pre-aggregated.  ROLAP uses a special design technique to enable RDBMS technology to support multidimensional data representations, known as star schema.  Star schema creates the near equivalent of a multidimensional database schema from the existing relational database

14. [14] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 A Typical ROLAP Client/Server Architecture

15. [15] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198  The real limitation of OLAP databases is almost always the number of cells and not the number of dimensions.  As the number of dimensions increases the number of cells increases expotentially so a 16 dimension database with 5 members in each has 152 billion cells.  Most OLAP servers reach their limit in cell numbers before they hit their dimensions limit LIMITATIONS

16. [16] National Institute of Science & Technology TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Murali Mohan Rath CS200117198 CONCLUSION  In essence OLAP technology is fast, flexible data summarisation and analysis.  OLAP servers are a superior technology for Business Intellgence applications.  OLAP servers and relational databases can work in harmony to create an environment that delivers data quickly to perform the analysis needed to make the best business decisions.
