Ole Db For Olap Odbo




ODBO is the most widely supported, multi-dimensional API to date. Platform specific to Microsoft Windows, ODBO was specifically designed for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems by Microsoft as an extension to Object Linking and Embedding Database ( OLE DB ). ODBO uses Microsoft’s Component Object Model.

ODBO permits independent software vendors (ISVs) and corporate developers to create a single set of standard interfaces that allow OLAP clients to access multi-dimensional data, regardless of vendor or data source. ODBO is currently supported by a wide spectrum of server and client tools.

When exposing the ODBO interface, the underlying multi-dimensional database must also support the MDX Query Language. XML For Analysis is a newer interface to MDX Data Sources that is often supported in parallel with ODBO.
