Build agile and responsive business intelligence solutions
Create a semantic model and analyze data using the tabular model in SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services to create corporate-level business intelligence (BI) solutions. Led by two BI experts, you will learn how to build, deploy, and query a tabular model by following detailed examples and best practices. This hands-on book shows you how to use the tabular model’s in-memory database to perform rapid analytics—whether you are new to Analysis Services or already familiar with its multidimensional model.
Discover how to:
• Determine when a tabular or multidimensional model is right for your project
• Build a tabular model using SQL Server Data Tools in Microsoft Visual Studio 2015
• Integrate data from multiple sources into a single, coherent view of company information
• Choose a data-modeling technique that meets your organization’s performance and usability requirements
• Implement security by establishing administrative and data user roles
• Define and implement partitioning strategies to reduce processing time
• Use Tabular Model Scripting Language (TMSL) to execute and automate administrative tasks
• Optimize your data model to reduce the memory footprint for VertiPaq
• Choose between in-memory (VertiPaq) and pass-through (DirectQuery) engines for tabular models
• Select the proper hardware and virtualization configurations
• Deploy and manipulate tabular models from C# and PowerShell using AMO and TOM libraries
