Systems and methods for providing a simplified application programming interface for converting from two-dimensional query languages into multi-dimensional query languages to query multi-dimensional data sources and MDX servers

摘要

Apparatus and methods are provided for querying OLAP data sources and other MDX servers utilizing a two-dimensional query language. Aspects of the apparatus and methods receive a query written in a two-dimensional query language, such as LINQ, convert the query into a query compatible with a multi-dimensional query language, such as MDX, and employ the converted query to query the OLAP data source.
