Hi dear all,
Anyone have news about the future of BI Accelerator in Yukon SQL
version? What do you think about SQL BI Workbench announced by Microsoft?

As far as I see in this article

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...xt/DWSQLSY.asp

Seems like the whole thing will be integrated to Analysis Services.
Don't take my word for it but I think it may dissapear as an independent
application.

Here's a quote:

"Create a Customizable Database From a Template

We have just described the basic steps of creating a custom Analysis
Services database from a known source. This path through the Cube Wizard
and Dimension Wizard is analogous to the standard method of creating an
Analysis Services 2000 database.

The alternative method of creating a “Yukon” analytical application is
to choose the option in the second screen of the Cube Wizard to "Design
BI model without data source." This path through the wizard is analogous
to the design experience of the SQL Server 2000 Accelerator for Business
Intelligence. This design experience generates a complete customizable
application from a template: rich dimensional structures and analytic
features, optionally including a relational data warehouse and DTS
packages. Templates may be supplied by Microsoft, integrators, or
independent software vendors."

Happy NYear

Ricardo
