In this course, students learn to progressively build an OLAP data model to support a wide range of business intelligence requirements. Students learn to design OLAP cubes to serve as a summary management resource for existing SQL table queries. Students also learn to leverage the power of Oracle OLAP by adding rich analytic content to your data model.
Students learn to create sophisticated reports of OLAP data by using simple SQL queries. Students also create and execute OLAP queries in SQL Developer, and Oracle Application Express (APEX). Students learn to implement cube security, including how to authorize access to cube data and methods for scoping user views of data. Finally, students learn to design OLAP cubes for performance and scalability.
Learn To:

• Design and create an Oracle OLAP data model
• Enable query rewrite to OLAP Cube MVs for relational summary management
• Easily create OLAP calculations that enrich the analytic content of your data model
• Query OLAP data using simple SQL
• Implement cube security
• Efficiently design cubes for performance and scalability
