the JOLAP specs are in the works for a standard access mechanism, but not yet finalized/released...
[JOLAP is a pure Java API for the J2EETM environment that supports the creation and maintenance of OLAP data and metadata, in a vendor-independent manner.] CUBE is a synonum for a multidimensional array as per standard OLAP terminology ... [A multidimensional array is a group of data cells arranged by the dimensions of the data. For example, a spreadsheet exemplifies a two-dimensional array with the data cells arranged in rows and columns, each being a dimension. A three-dimensional array can be visualized as a cube with each dimension forming a side of the cube, including any slice parallel with that side. Higher dimensional arrays have no physical metaphor, but they organize the data in the way users think of their enterprise. Typical enterprise dimensions are time, measures, products, geographical regions, sales channels, etc. Synonyms: Multi-dimensional Structure, Hypercube] vendor specific technet sites give the following info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnexcl2k2/html/odc_da_whatrcubes.asp cheers... -m "Barr, Dan" wrote: > A cube is part of the nomenclature around OLAP (online analytical > processing) and used in data warehouses, etc... > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Jason Kilgrow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 10:14 AM > > To: JDJList > > Subject: [jdjlist] Re: Accessing database Cubes thru JSP > > > > > > I've never even heard of "database Cubes".
