what is the difference between OLTP database and data
warehousing database?

Answer Posted / jteo

OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) database design is
normalised, which means it is optimized for INSERT, UPDATE.

Data warehouse design is not normalised but follows
dimensional modelling rules. They involve building star
schemas made up of fact tables and dimension tables and are
optimized for querying (SELECT).

Suppose I am loaded with questions as I am an experienced etl coder, but not an analytical report builder. I am using analysis services to build a cube but am trying to choose the reporting architecture. Can someone please confirm whether or not reporting services (using the business intelligence report) will allow for slicing and dicing, or is it only a static report builder. Also, if I am using the cube browser in analysis services, where can I put the option of non empty so that I dont see records that are blank.?
