Business Intelligence (BI) reporting analyses can be performed using ________ .

  • A.standard SQL only
  • B.extensions to SQL only
  • C.OLAP only
  • D.both standard SQL and extensions to SQL

Answer: A

Correct answer: both standard SQL and extensions to SQL

Much reporting is straightforward SQL - selecting, filtering, grouping and aggregating - and RFM analysis, for instance, can be done entirely that way. But OLAP reporting needs the analytical extensions that support cubes, rollups and drill-down, which standard SQL does not provide. Reporting therefore uses both, which is why products offer the extensions at all.
