I am not familiar with the term "cube". Could someone give me a short definition?
Thanks, Ken Janusz, CPIM ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 2:35 PM Their OLAP tool is PowerPlay. Their report writer is Impromptu. Which product are they pushing on you? I think PowerPlay is a great tool and easy to use. When we first bought it (3 or 4 years ago), I had a cube built within a day. It was much cheaper and easier to use the Oracle Express. Building a cube can hit your system pretty hard (all of the data needs to be read to summarize it into a cube). You build your cubes off hours and you don't let users build them on demand.
