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.
