February 2012 meet-up of the SS SLUG

Announcing the February 2012 meet-up of the SQL Server Sri Lanka User Group (SS SLUG). We have a new type of session called the "Whirlwind DBA Demos" lined up for you this month as a treat.

Session #1 Why OLAP? How OLAP. with Gogula G. Aryalingam (MVP) We, as developers work with transactional databases on a day-to-day basis. These databases efficiently store data, and are also great for pulling out data.  But when it comes to hardcore reporting and analysis, we have a problem. One likely solution is OLAP. Join this session to learn why we need OLAP and how we can build and use it.
