RelationalCube is an advanced ODBC / JDBC driver developed by Simba Technologies that maps SQL to any MDX data store.
RelationalCube supports OLE DB for OLAP (ODBO), SAP® BAPI and XML for Analysis (XMLA) connectivity to MDX data sources. It provides a virtual star schema view of a multi-dimensional data cube, opening up your multi-dimensional data to all query and reporting tools that talk SQL.
RelationalCube builds upon Simba's leadership in data connectivity solutions. It uses Simba's proven technology to provide ODBC / JDBC connectivity to MDX data sources, such as:
- Microsoft Analysis Services®
- SAP® BW
- Oracle Hyperion Essbase®
- Easy to set-up
- Easy to configure and use
- Based on standard data protocols
- SQL, ODBC, JDBC, MDX, OLE DB for OLAP (ODBO) and XML for Analysis (XMLA) compliant
Today, the vast majority of query and reporting applications talk ODBC/SQL, very few tools talk MDX.
Companies spend millions of dollars building data warehouses for analytics. Once their data warehouse is built, they find that they must move to query and reporting tools that support MDX, and their existing tools that talk SQL become ineffective.
Simba's RelationalCube allows decision makers to continue to use the familiar query and reporting tool of their choice. It combines the strengths of SQL and MDX, supporting both SQL-based and MDX-based analytics within a multi-dimensional data cube.
The value to today's business is savings and increased productivity, given the ability to use existing SQL-based analytics applications on MDX data.
