difference between multi relational OLAP & multidimensional
OLAP
Answer / suresh
Sr Relational Modelling Multi-Dimensional Modelling
1 Relational models can be very complex with hundreds
of tables having long chains of relationship among them.
Multidimensional modeling are very simple. Each of
the dimension table has a direct relationship with the fact
table
2 Normal data modeling is quite flexible. The
Multidimensional modeling has a rigid structure
3 One of the goals of relational modeling is to
confirm to the rules of normalization. In a normalized
database each data value is stored only once.
Multidimensional modeling are radically
denormalized. The dimension tables have a high number of
repeated values in their fields.
4 Standard relational models are optimized for On
Line Transaction Processing. OLTP needs the ability to
efficiently update data. This is provided in a normalized
database that has each value stored only once.
Multidimensional modeling are optimized for On Line
Analytical Processing. OLAP needs the ability to retrieve
data efficiently. Efficient data retrieval requires a
minimum number of joins. This is provided with the simple
structure of relationship in a Multidimensional modeling,
where each dimension table is only a single join away from
the fact table.
5 SQL queries required to manipulate relational data
MDX queries required to manipulate multi-
dimensional data
6 Tables are units of relational data storage.
Cubes are units of multi-dimensional data storage.
7 Table fields of particular data type store the
actual data. Dimensions and measures stores actual data.
8 Table size is measured in number of record set.
Cube size is measured in number of Cellsets. In
this sense, MS Excel Pivot Table can accommodate 2,040,000
cellsets (8000 * 255). Considering the summary data to be
reported, this is reasonably large. Pivot Table can report
at the most 8000 different items.

Research reveals that high fiber content food is effective in preventing heart disease. However consumers are unable to take advantage of this finding as fiber content is usually not listed on the Nutrition Information label on food packages. Therefore as a further precaution in preventing heart disease, the government must regulate food industries to include the fiber content on the Nutrition Information label on food packages. Which of the following weakens the argument above?
