Through the first 3 chapters I felt like the book may have some promise. True, the brief overviews didn't really pertain to any major aspects of Analysis Services, but it was interesting to learn the background of the product. Once I got to chapters 4, 5 and 6 I almost fell asleep.

Through the first 3 chapters I felt like the book may have some promise. The author tries to explain multidimensional cubes with no real foresight into how this applies to Analysis Services. I found myself completely confused as to what was trying to be explained

Don't get this book for any sort of introduction to Analysis Services, though it attempts to have sufficient breadth to have something for everyone. This book would be best for someone who has already worked extensively with Analysis Services for several years and wants or needs to take it to the next level, in terms of cube size and performance (both processing and querying), where you really need to understand what is going on in the engine under the covers.

Something that is rarely appreciated is just how open Microsoft has always been with respect to this product in allowing such detailed information on its inner workings to be made publicly available. The chapters on internals are the most valuable compared to other information sources that are out there.

It is true as another reviewer complained that there exist an unnecessary number of grammatical, syntax and spelling errors (the only reason I don't give 5 stars), but they are and I hate to say it, minor irritants compared to the valuable information presented. The other negative reviews I just don't grock at all. If I have any complaint it is that many of the internals details are presented so matter-of-factly that they can slide right by you without your realizing their significance or implications. They also could have included more on how the workings that are revealed relate to the many server parameters you can adjust and the many performance monitor counters you can utilize in SQL Server Profiler and perfmon to gain deep insight into what is going on underneath.

If you aren't already conversant with Profiler, get a good book on it too, like Mastering SQL Server Profiler by Brad McGehee - it's focused on SQL Server counters but it all applies to AS also. Profiler and perfmon are your friends when to comes to deep diving AS performance.

I also appreciated the chapter on coding with ADOMD.NET, a topic that many MS AS practitioners never get close to even with years of experience - it's a great quick-start.

I found this book to be extremely informative. I have read many other books on SSAS and I found that this book can tell you a lot about how SSAS really works. It also have an very wide and excellent coverage of topics which are seldom even discussed in many other SSAS books.

Mind you that if you are a newbie this may be a bit too overwhelming. However if you know the subject and want more detailed knowledge on inner workings of SSAS, then this book is a MUST READ.

Don't be too bothered about reviews on Amazon which say that this contains lot of XML based samples.... The XML samples are required, because the show how to use XMLA (Xml for Analysis Services).

All in all, this is the best book written on the subject.

Helpful insight into Analysis Services. Inna Gorbach often is able to elaborate in a neat and concise manner and this book is no exception

Felolv

This book is all detail and no big picture. I didn't even find it useful as a reference. Save your money.

OK, if you are a technologist and are inclined to write a book on a specific technology then read this most excellent book and see how it should be done. This explains everything about SSAS in finite details. I am writing a course on Microsoft BI and this is my reference of choice.

Kizshura

This book contains detailed insights into the internals of Analysis Services and is a must own for any Analysis Services professional.

I have thousands of hours of experience with SSAS 2000 and 2005. I think that SSAS is one of the best (if unappreciated) Microsoft products.

I bought this book for one reason - it was the first one available. If you need one now, then get it. But be warned that it's not particularly good.

The key problem is that the authors are fascinated with XML. They use raw XML to explain a wide variety of concepts and tasks. For the authors and publishers, it has the benefit of wasting a lot of space. This fattens the book and makes it look like you are getting more for your money.

Unfortunately for the readers, the book is difficult to read and completely misses the point of the SSAS interface. XML is the underlying metadata structure of SSAS. That is the last place you should look to understand cube and dimensional structure, or for modifying how the cube works.

For a professional programmer (me), time is money and productivity is everything. First you should should use the graphical and tabular representation of metadata to manipulate the cubes and dimension. THEN, you write MDX functions when necessary. If all else fails, mess with the XML.

If you can wait a few weeks, there are two new books coming out for AS 2008. I believe either would a much better alternative to this book.

Don't waste your money buying this book like I did.

Regards,

Dan.

This may be an excellent choice for expert SSAS users - see the five-star reviews - but I do not recommend it for the intermediate audience. I was looking for something between Larson's "Delivering business intelligence" and "Expert cube development" by Russo, Ferrari and Webb, after having skimmed the two (very good) books. Early on, in Chapter 2, I was struck by what I felt was confusing explanation of dimension members and attributes (see pp. 14 and 17-18) - other not-quite-effective explanations followed - then Chapters 3-4 made content choices that I just didn't appreciate. I may come back, but the current plan is to try something else, hoping that different authors can explain things better.
