Preface

Oracle OLAP Developer's Guide to the OLAP API introduces Java programmers to the Oracle OLAP API, which is the Java application programming interface for Oracle OLAP. Through Oracle OLAP, the OLAP API provides access to data stored in an Oracle database. The OLAP API capabilities for querying, manipulating, and presenting data are particularly suited to applications that perform online analytical processing (OLAP) operations.
