what is the difference b/w mdx and sql?

Answer Posted / karthik

MDX - Is the Multi Dimensional SQL.
Just like we have SQL for Oracle or MS- SQL (which are
nothing but Relational Data Bases ), The Query or the
Syntax for Multi Dimension Data Source like CUBE or other
OLAP data source use MDX.

So the PowerPlay Transfer uses MDX for building the CUBE.

Hi, I have Cognos 7.0 Impromptu reports and these reports have been created with the Mainframe datasource. Now the business needs these reports should be upgraded but with Oracle datasource. So what's the idea, first we should migrate these reports into ReportNet? then in that case what we will do with the Impromptu Catalog? Second, suppose we need to migrate these reports into Cognos 8 (may be 8.4) then how we will do that? do we need to create a FM Model for these reports. Please advice!
