Meanwhile, in the parallel universe inhabited by Oracle users, a few weeks ago Mark Rittmann interviewed the architect for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, Phil Bates, and asked readers to suggest some questions for him. Of course I couldn’t resist asking about MDX, even though I got a very nondescript response:

Interesting that many of the other questions concerned data access (eg "Will Oracle reverse Hyperion’s undocumented strategy for making it almost impossible to get data out of Essbase successfully?") as well.
