OLAP analysis should handle any business logic and
statistical analysis that is relevant to the application

information through comparative,. The users are allowed to
define new ad hoc calculations as part of the analysis and

multi-user client/server mode and offer consistently rapid
responses to queries, regardless of database size and
complexity.
