Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer (OracleBI Discoverer) is a suite of business intelligence tools that enables users to query and analyze data stored in Oracle and other databases. Included as part of Oracle Business Intelligence 10g, OracleBI Discoverer complements the OLAP Option to Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition, which extends the analytic capabilities of the Oracle database to include a logical dimensional model and specialized multidimensional datatypes. This paper explains the benefits of adding the OLAP Option to the OracleBI Discoverer reporting and analysis, describes the Analytic Workspace Manager 10g tool, and describes the steps OracleBI Discoverer administrators can take to make OLAP reporting available to their users.
