Dimensional applications are best and most easily built using a dimensional

language. These dimensional applications are typified by the related notions

of OLAP and dimensional data warehouses and marts. MDX (for MultiDimensional

eXpressions) is the most widely accepted software language used for

these applications. The book you read here, MDX Solutions, is the second edition

of a guide to learning and using MDX. Since the first edition of MDX Solutions,

the number of analytical applications that use MDX has grown very

large, and several more servers and many third-party and homegrown client

tools now allow you to use MDX to express the logic you use to calculate and

to retrieve your information.
