DB2 Cube Views

DB2 Cube Views is the latest generation of OLAP support in DB2 UDB and includes features and functions that make the relational database a first-class platform for managing and deploying multidimensional data across the enterprise. Data architects can provide faster, easier, and more manageable OLAP solutions regardless of the particular OLAP tools and technologies used. OLAP is a core component of BI. OLAP gives users the ability to interrogate data by intuitively navigating from summary to detail data. All OLAP solutions rely on a relational database management system (RDBMS) to source and dynamically query data and to support drill-through reports.

DB2 Cube Views help integrate BI applications with the data warehouse by sharing the metadata between the relational database and business intelligence applications. You can model the data in the warehouse once, and deploy that model with every application.

Version 8.1 of DB2 QMF for Windows and DB2 QMF for WebSphere support DB2 Cube Views. No extensive knowledge of OLAP is required to preform real-time data analysis. You can drag multiple objects onto predefined layouts to quickly create dynamic OLAP reports. You can open existing OLAP queries using the Database Explorer, create new OLAP queries using the OLAP Query Wizard, and work with the OLAP query results using the OLAP Query Results Explorer.
