In addition
to ADO MD, applications gain access to SAS OLAP cubes through OLE
DB for OLAP (ODBO), an industry-standard set of programmable Component
Object Model (COM) interfaces that expose multidimensional data. For SAS OLAP
cubes, the OLE DB interfaces are exposed by the SAS OLAP Data Provider, a
component of SAS Integration Technologies. The SAS OLAP Data Provider enables
applications to perform data analysis by providing a means to view schema
information, submit MDX queries, and retrieve results. The SAS OLAP Data Provider
is installed with the SAS Integration Technologies Client for Windows. See
the
SAS Providers for OLE DB: Cookbook for more information about IOM data provider usage.
