Anyone here uses OLAP, running in MySQL? Any OpenSOurce OLAP query tools? How does one goes about doing OLAP? Is there any documentation w/ MySQL anywhere. (I'm currently looking at Pentaho and Mondrian etc but the Pre-configured demo didn't work as it should, meaning it doesn't run for X reasons)
What about doing views? eg: I take a snapshot of the data, every 1 hours, and plug them into a view or another table and use that eg: select Avg (A), Min(A), Max(A), AVG(B) min(B), max(B) from table1 left join table2 on table1.field = table2.field etc.. etc.. Will that work? Then when I query, I query this newly created aggregrate table and I'm thinking of something along these lines. DATE | Month | Day | Hour | AVG | Min | Max| some other field 2006 | | | | 10 | 0 | 100 | AAA -->2006| Oct | | | 10.5| 1 | 101 | BBB -->2006| Oct | 10 | |10.2 | 3 | 98 | CCC etc..etc.. Will something like this work for a So called "moving average"?? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
