Part III

Creating a Relational Data Warehouse

Part 3 provides information about creating and maintaining a relational data warehouse for use by OLAP tools such as Discoverer Plus OLAP, Spreadsheet Add-In, and OracleBI Beans custom applications.

• Chapter 7, "Using the OLAP Catalog"

• Chapter 8, "Materialized Views for the OLAP API"

This information is for use only when the data source for an OLAP application is a star or snowflake schema. When analytic workspaces are used as the data source, neither OLAP Catalog metadata nor materialized views have any use.
