VIEWING AN OLAP CUBE AS A VIRTUAL DATA SOURCE

摘要

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for generating an online analytical processing (OLAP) query. A report specification may be received against the OLAP system. The report specification may include relational constructs. An application may apply constructs in the OLAP query according to a mapping and in a specific order. Consequently, the semantics of the report specification may be preserved.
