SQL Server User Group : Analysis Services and Many 2 Many

Good presentation by Analysis Services aficionado Darren Gosbell at this evenings SQL User Group meeting.

The presentation covered many to many relationships in Analysis Services. Many to many relationships have been around in the relational DBMS arena for many a year, but it's only been with the 2005 release that it's been possible in Analysis Services.

One of these days I might get around to putting some of my meager Analysis Services skills into practice ... one day ... in my spare time ...

In case you're wondering what all the emoticons and "Quote..." stuff is about, I'm playing with the latest release of Windows Live Writer. Looks pretty cool so far, but I don't think it'll take pride of place before Outlook or my mobile phone as my blogging tool of choice. It's far too easy in the other tools.
