Product Description - SSAS Entity Framework Provider (tm)SSAS Entity Framework Provider (tm) (patent pending) enables you to use LINQ and Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework to querySSAS OLAP cubes and offline cube files like they were a regular relational database, but with the same outstanding performance offered by SSAS cubes, even when your data volume is measures in terabytes. Say goodbye to all time spent on performance optimizations of your SQL and denormalization. With our product LINQ is much faster than SQL, especially for big data volumes, and your OLTP database schema can stay perfectly normal. See example: LINQ vs. LINQ/SDX vs. MDX Comparison You do not need to specify 'join', 'group by', 'Sum()', 'Average(), 'orderby', ... any more. You do not need that because most of the time your cube already knows how to join, group, aggregate and sort data. SSAS Entity Framework Provider (tm) uses a streamlined dialect of LINQ - SDX (LINQ Simple Dimensional eXtensions). Even if you never knew neither LINQ nor MDX you can learn enough of LINQ / SDX in 30 minutes. SDX protects you from many of potential mistakes that would slow down your MDX query. See Getting Started Walkthrough for detailed step-by-step instructions how to setup and run SDX. Further SSAS Entity Framework Provider (tm) Information |
