Default When should I use OLAP ? or just Reporting ? - 01-14-2004 , 04:31 AM






Hi SQL/OLAP Gurus,

I am new comer to OLAP with Analysis Service.
What are the considerations to decide to use OLAP (e.g: with Analisys
Service) or to use just 'traditional' reporting ?

(what I mean by 'traditional reporting' is reports on the operational/OLTP
database, not the OLAP database)

Thanks for your info,
Krist
