Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) is designed to facilitate complex data analysis and support business intelligence. It empowers users to obtain quick, ad-hoc answers to their queries. OLAP technology is built on a multidimensional data model, which can handle large volumes of data effectively and speedily. It enables users to slice and dice large data sets and view them from various perspectives. OLAP allows users to generate summary reports on the fly, compare data across different time periods, explore data hierarchies, filter and sort data, and perform other data manipulation tasks in real-time. While OLAP does offer logical and physical views of data, it is primarily a tool for interactive data analysis and reporting, rather than data modeling or programming.
