RE: OLAP again

It seems that Oracle is planning to desupport the OLAP technology some time in the future (Oracle Express) and enhance the data warehousing capabilities and performance in 9i. That's why they are offering a new layer called 9i OLAP services in 9i.

I'm no OLAP expert, but you may want to resarch ROLAP products, ROLAP being Relation Online Analytical Processing.

These tools are designed to allow OLAP functionality from your relational database.
