Techniques for integrating disparate data access mechanisms

摘要

Techniques for integrating disparate data access mechanisms are provided. A user attempts data access against an infocube and its data access mechanism. Transparently, that access attempt is translated into a format recognized and processed by a relational database access mechanism to produce results. The results are then translated from a relational database format back to an infocube format and presented to the user within the infocube's data access mechanism.
