Can anyone recommend a good resource -- book, website, article, etc -- to help me learn SQL Server Analysis services.
I have no knowledge of this technology right now but I do constantly work with SQL server in the traditional sense.
I want to learn about Cubes and Using Reporting Services with it. I want to start from the bottom but after I finish with the material, ideally, I'd be able to stumble through a real development project...
I'm hoping to get started with a free resource but if anyone knows of a really good book, I'd take that too.
Or, if you don't know of a resource how did you get started with the technology?
Thank you,
Frank
Take a look Here for a list of AS resources I compiled in answer to a similar question.
Pretty outstanding book:
Professional SQL Server Analysis Services 2005 with MDX
Gives you a good overview of the architecture of SSAS, as well as the query language MDX, and administrative/maintenance overview. A good primer for a developer OR a system administrator.
My personal favorite book on the topic is Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services
Mosha Pasumansky's blog is a great resource once you start learning more about the technology and MDX

Here's a link to Analysis Services Books online. It's a decent resource, and completely free.

I am becoming confused while learning database programming (SQL/MySQL etc). Sometime I can not install software like the video tutorial. Sometime I can not run command properly.
Can anyone suggest me some beginner friendly free resource to learn database? (from your experience)
I would recommend a SQL Tutorial by freeCodeCamp which is available on YouTube SQL Tutorial - Full course for beginners
I'm thinking about developing a database application with a web interface. basically I'll be using javascritp, ajax, php and xhtml. I was thinking on using the centos OS with "lamp".
The database might get a little extensive...do you guys have any advice on what technologies (besides the one refereed) that I should look into?
Note: Must be free :)
Thanks in advance
The main thing in selecting your DBMS is the nature of your application. Whats the purpose of your application.
If you goes in enterprise level you should select the proper DBMS for that support enterprise features.
If you just need to play around to learn the Database and coding just try LAMP or XAMPP :)
I have a pending project that may or may not be a good candidate for leveraging SQL Server Analysis Services. The project is based around business metric calculations.
Does anyone have some good recommended reading for a crash course in SQL Server Analysis Services that'll let me catch up to speed on what the capabilities and uses are to help me decide if it is worth digging in to further?
Thanks
I've been reading Delivering Business Intelligence with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 by Brian Larson and think this is the best book for a beginner on the subject. He is a good writer and has an easy style. His focus is on the overview and allowing you to understand SSAS basics. I'm not sure a seasoned pro would get much out of it, but for me it was perfect. I've also got the Wrox Professional book, which has far more detail but is a less enjoyable read.
here is the answer for a similar question on stackoverflow, and has some useful links for a SSAS beginner. However some links for msdev.com are not working as given in th eanser but rest are good.
I currently use PluralSight for online video training on .net related technologies. Their videos on .net technology are awesome but I am not satisfied with SQL Server related videos.
Could some one please recommend some paid or free training online video site for SQL Server.
If this is not the right forum to ask this question then where should I ask this question?
I am looking for development training.
I used webucator.com for an introduction to C#. It was a great class and taught me quite a bit in 5 days. They have both instructor led and go at your own pace training available. They have a T-SQL class I've had my eye on for a while and plan on taking the next chance I get.
Does anyone have experience working with Oracle User management? Any idea if it can be easily used to register users and roles into Oracle OID? And how I can use the defined roles in my application (i.e. should I hard code them)?
I've asked several questions on this topic and have gotten little response.
I think the community here isn't geared so much for this and you'd be better off here at the Oracle Forums.
