Description Linda Chan CLA 2007-09-21 21:48:37 EDT 
The ODA framework currently provides support for a consumer application to retrieve and process data in the form of rows and columns. An ODA data provider for a multi-dimensional data source would have to flatten its data into a tabular result set. That works well for those ODA-compliant consumer applications that want to consume tabular data sets. However, there are other types of applications, such as OLAP tools, that would prefer to consume data in a multi-dimensional result set. This project aims to extend the ODA API to provide design-time and runtime support of multi-dimensional result sets.

Setting to Galileo so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle
Comment 2 Linda Chan CLA 2009-02-02 21:34:13 EST 
Updated the priority to reflect that this enhancement might not make it in Galileo due to limited resources available.
Comment 3 Linda Chan CLA 2009-04-14 20:50:00 EDT 
This enhancement will not make it in Galileo due to limited resources available.

Has any work ever been done on this or is this just an idea right now?
