What is Molap and Rolap? What is Diff between Them?

Answer Posted / pratap gangula

Hi Marcelo,

Your understanding of MDX execution flow is correct but
your interpretation of difference between ROLAP and MOLAP is
wrong. The difference between ROLAP and MOLAP lies in the way the data is stored which leads to two different data retrieval methodology.

OLAP storage models are designed basis how you want to store your data. I guess nobody would want to design the OLAP basis the data retrieval procedures.

You are simply challenging your own thought process.

Rgds,
Pratap
