There's so much information inside your database, but how do you get at it and use it successfully? With this guide to Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) tools, you can forego programming and custom data warehousing and tap into the power of Microsoft SQL Server technology. You can build your own data warehouse using the Enterprise Manager tool in SQL Server and pull out what you need using SQL Server Query Analyzer and English Query tools. What's more, Excel 2000, in tandem with these tools, serves up your data in multidimensional, mission-specific reports. The CD-ROM includes extensive sample databases and an evaluation edition of Microsoft SQL Server 7.0.
