Welcome One and All

Welcome to the new Oracle OLAP blog. Here we will try to feature anything and everything related to Oracle's database OLAP Option. Our aim is to provide information for both novice and advanced OLAP users.

Some of you may recognise my profile from the BI Blog that I have co-hosted with Abhinav (BI Product Management) for the last three years. For 2008 I am switching my posts to this new blog where we can concentrate on the key features and benefits of the OLAP option. On this blog I am teaming up with Brian Macdonald who is one of our top OLAP experts and he is based in North America.

If you have any questions regarding OLAP please remember to use the OLAP technical forum on OTN:
