OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) allows for the analysis of multidimensional data. It emerged as RDBMSs (Relational Database Management Systems) were unable to efficiently handle multidimensional analysis due to their two-dimensional structure and poor performance from multiple joins. OLAP pre-aggregates data into logical subtotals and totals across all possible dimension combinations to enable fast analysis. It introduces concepts like dimensions, measures, hierarchies, and star and snowflake schemas to organize and analyze multidimensional data.

Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)

Anjali Gupta Mithun Arora Aameek Singh Kranthi Kumar

Introduction
OLAP designates a category of applications and technologies that allow the collection, storage, manipulation and reproduction of multidimensional data, with the goal of analysis.

Why RDBMS fails


2-D Structure Multiple Joins and Poor Performance Denormalized Databases Drain Performance & Resources

Enter OLAP !

Consolidation

Pre-aggregation of all logical subtotals and totals Pre-compute totals by each possible subset in the set of dimensions

Basic Concepts

Dimensions Measures Positions Hierarchies Schemas - Star & Snowflake

More Features

Formulae Calculations on the fly Drill Down & Roll Up Navigation through levels of detail Slicing & Dicing Pivot / Rotate Change Dimensional Orientation

Different forms of OLAP


Three ways of storing data:

Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP) Best Query Performance Relational OLAP (ROLAP) Ideal for large databases Hybrid OLAP (HOLAP) Best of both worlds!
