D

Answer to Question 2

OLAP stands for On-Line Analytical Processing. It is the use of a set of reporting and querying tools which allows the user to use simple windowing techniques to analyze multidimensional views of their data. The multidimensional view of the data can be thought of as a data cube. There are several variations of OLAP including: ROLAP (Relational OLAP) which uses SQL and view the database as a traditional relational database. MOLAP (Multidimensional OLAP) creates a data store where the data is viewed in its multidimensional format. Some less common tools are DOLAP, which builds OLAP into the query language, and HOLAP, which offers both multidimensional as well as relation query language access to the data.
