Who this book is for

This book is aimed at the IT professional who has an understanding of typical client-server applications but is new to Essbase and the concept of multidimensional database management systems.

Occasionally explaining the concept of a multidimensional database to someone who only has experience with traditional row/column relational databases can make their head explode! This book will show you the common sense approach to designing, building, and most importantly understanding Essbase and the cube concept.
