SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services
Only two models, really?
How many models in SSAS?
» BISM (2012)
  » Business Intelligence Semantic Model
» UDM (2005-2008 R2)
  » Unified Dimensional Model
» Multidimensional Model
» Data Mining Model
» Tabular Model
Connectivity model or data model?

VS Multidimensional Models
What happened to my UDM and why isn’t it good enough?
Multidimensional model differentiators
» Tabular                        » Multidimensional
  » In memory cache                » File based storage
  » Loose structure                » Rigid structure
  » Data does not need to move     » It is best when data is put into a
      from source                      star schema
  »   Relational model             »   Dimensional model
  »   DAX                          »   MDX
  »   Simple                       »   Complex
  »   Smaller                      »   Larger
VS PowerPivot
Is a tabular model really PowerPivot for SQL Server?
PowerPivot differentiators
» Tabular                             » PowerPivot
  » Visual Studio Project               » Excel
  » Deploy to SSAS                      » Deploy to SharePoint
  » Size limited to memory              » Size limited to 2GB
  » Supports Partitioning      xVelocity »No partitions
  » DirectQuery and Vertipaq            » Vertipaq only
  » Server Admin tools (e.g. SSMS)      » Excel and SharePoint “Admin”
  » Row level & dynamic security        » Workbook file security
Vertipaq is now xVelocity
» Vertipaq has been rebranded into xVelocity
  » Vertipaq was too hard to spell and did not contain “x”. 
» xVelocity
  » In memory, highly optimized data storage and querying engine
  » Used in
     » PowerPivot
     » SQL Server Analysis Services – Tabular model
     » SQL Server – Column data store
New Features in Both
» Hierarchies
» KPIs
» Perspectives
» Diagram View (YAY)
» New DAX functions
» And more…
The Tabular Model
Creating the tabular model in SSAS
Building the tabular model
» Source: AdventureWorks (not the DW version)
» Plan
  » Create project
  » Add data source
  » Add measure
  » Add partition
  » And more …

  • 2. Agenda » Basics of SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services » VS Multidimensional Model » VS PowerPivot » Creating a Tabular Model – AKA the Demo » Wrap Up
  • 3. SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services Only two models, really?
  • 4. How many models in SSAS? » BISM (2012) » Business Intelligence Semantic Model » UDM (2005-2008 R2) » Unified Dimensional Model » Multidimensional Model » Data Mining Model » Tabular Model
  • 5. Connectivity model or data model? Third-party Reporting Excel SharePoint applications Services PowerPivot Insights » Connectivity » BISM » Data BI Semantic Model Multi- Data model dimensional Tabular » Tabular Business logic MDX DAX » Multidimensional and queries Direct Data access ROLAP MOLAP VertiPaq Query Databases LOB Applications Files OData Feeds Cloud Services
  • 6. VS Multidimensional Models What happened to my UDM and why isn’t it good enough?
  • 7. Multidimensional model differentiators » Tabular » Multidimensional » In memory cache » File based storage » Loose structure » Rigid structure » Data does not need to move » It is best when data is put into a from source star schema » Relational model » Dimensional model » DAX » MDX » Simple » Complex » Smaller » Larger
  • 8. VS PowerPivot Is a tabular model really PowerPivot for SQL Server?
  • 9. PowerPivot differentiators » Tabular » PowerPivot » Visual Studio Project » Excel » Deploy to SSAS » Deploy to SharePoint » Size limited to memory » Size limited to 2GB » Supports Partitioning xVelocity »No partitions » DirectQuery and Vertipaq » Vertipaq only » Server Admin tools (e.g. SSMS) » Excel and SharePoint “Admin” » Row level & dynamic security » Workbook file security
  • 10. Vertipaq is now xVelocity » Vertipaq has been rebranded into xVelocity » Vertipaq was too hard to spell and did not contain “x”.  » xVelocity » In memory, highly optimized data storage and querying engine » Used in » PowerPivot » SQL Server Analysis Services – Tabular model » SQL Server – Column data store
  • 11. New Features in Both » Hierarchies » KPIs » Perspectives » Diagram View (YAY) » New DAX functions » And more…
  • 12. The Tabular Model Creating the tabular model in SSAS
  • 13. Building the tabular model » Source: AdventureWorks (not the DW version) » Plan » Create project » Add data source » Add measure » Add partition » And more …
