Could neone suggest me a good book which will give me a general idea about
all OLAP tools available , like cognos etc?

thanks

Probably the best book out there is SQL Server Analysis Services Step by
Step.

The book is basic...however, there are way better online tutorials. I highly
suggest the online materials versus the book.

Thanks Jesse.
I'll definitely make use of those links.
The problem with me is I don't have PC or laptop and in office i hardly get
time for reading, but I can read the book on weekends or holidays and at home.
