Tool Suites, MDX, and SQLJ

摘要

Staying current as a Web database developer is no simple feat. We must stay abreast of research, emerging technologies, and new products that implement those technologies. In an online article that supplements this column, I explore promising information-retrieval technologies still in the formative stage (see "Online" for the URL). Here, I discuss technologies that have evolved beyond the research stage and recently become available in shipping software. If you're doing Java development, using SQL databases, or working with multidimensional data, data marts, or data warehouses, you have new solutions to add to your bag of tricks.
