I'm researching an article on open-source analytics. There are dozens
of open-source projects that don't seem particularly noteworthy. The
Mondrian OLAP server
(http://perforce.eigenbase.org:8080/o...doc/index.html)
seems a possible exception. If you're using it or have any impression
of it that you'd like to share, please send me a note? Actually, same
applies for any open-source OLAP/analytics package with the exception of
the R statistical programming language, which I already know a lot about.

Thanks,

Seth

I did some quick testing of Mondrain, and it looks like a read-only
ROLAP tool to me, which means it would not be a good candidate for
certain types of applications.

Mind you, that was a few months ago - it may have been enhanced since then.

Even Microsoft can make a threeD dwh work. The differences come
with 10+ dimensions and more rows than you can easily cache.
