ANALYTICAL
PROCESSING
(OLAP)
INTRODUCTION
OLAP FUNCTIONALITY
Calculations and modeling applied across
dimensions, through hierarchies and /or
across members .
Trend analysis over sequential time periods .
Slicing subsets for on-screen viewing .
Drill-down to deeper levels of consolidation.
Reach through to underlying detail data.
Rotation to new dimensional comparisons in
the viewing area.
OLAP SERVER
An OLAP server is a high-capacity, multi-user
data manipulation engine specifically
designed to support and operate on multi-
dimensional data structures.
TYPES OF OLAP
Multidimensional OLAP(MOLAP)
MOLAP uses summary database that can
be thought of as cubes.
Relational OLAP(ROLAP)
ROLAP uses relational database.
Hybrid OLAP(HOLAP)
HOLAP uses relational tables as well as
multi-dimensional tables.

FAST
ANALYSIS
SHARED
MULTIDIMENSIONAL
INFORMATION
FAST
FAST means that the system is targeted to
deliver most responses to users within about
few seconds.
ANALYSIS
ANALYSIS means that the system can cope
with any business logic and statistical analysis
that is relevant for the application and the
user.
SHARED
SHARED means that the system implements
all the security requirements for
confidentiality.
MULTIDIMENSIONAL
MULTIDIMENSIONAL is our key
requirement .i.e. if we had to pick a one-word
definition of OLAP then it will be
MULTIDIMENSIONAL.
INFORMATION
INFORMATION is all of the data and
derived information needed ,wherever it is
and however much is relevant for the
applications.
TECHNIQUES
The techniques used to achieve it include
many flavors of client/server architecture,
time series analysis, object-orientation,
optimized proprietary data storage,
multithreading and various patented ideas
that vendors are so proud of.
DATA WAREHOUSING
AND
OLAP
OLTP SYSTEM
Online transaction processing (OLTP) system
is characterized by having large number of
concurrent users actively adding and
modifying data.
PROBLEMS OCCURRED USING
OLTP SYSTEM
Users may not understand the complex
relationships among the table and therefore
cannot generate ad hoc queries
Application databases may be segment across
multiple, servers, making it difficult for users
to find the tables in the first place.
Security restrictions may prevent users from
accessing the detail data they need.
Database administrator prohibit ad hoc of
OLTP system to prevent analytical users from
running queries that could slow down the
performance of mission-critical production
databases.
BENEFITS TO ANAYTICAL
USERS BY DATA WAREHOUSE
Data is organized to facilitate analytical
queries rather than transaction processing.
Differences among data structures across
multiple heterogeneous data bases can be
resolved.
Data transformation rules can be applied to
validate and consolidate data when data is
moved from the OLTP database into the data
warehouse.
Security and performance issues can be
resolved without requiring changes in the
production system.
BENEFITS TO ANALYTICAL
USERS BY OLAP
Pre-aggregation of frequently queried data,
enabling a very fast response time to ad hoc
queries.
An intuitive multidimensional data model that
makes it easy to select, navigate and explore
the data.
A powerful tool for creating new views of
data based upon a rich array of ad hoc
calculation function.
Technology to manage security, client/server
query management & data catching &
facilities to optimize system performance
based upon user needs.
ADVANCE REPORTING AND
ANALYSIS WITH OLAP AND
DATA WAREHOUSING
