# Introduction

Oracle provides the technology foundation needed to build a complete and integrated solution for Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing. Oracle Business Intelligence is an integrated and easy-to-use query, analysis, reporting, and custom BI production and publishing solution that allows users to query both relational and multidimensional (OLAP) data structures. Oracle provides samples and tutorials to help users learn and explore various features of Oracle Business Intelligence. The instructions here will guide you through the process of installing different components of the samples: a sample data set (known as the "common schema"), workbooks, the OracleBI Beans catalog, OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-in, and OracleBI Beans samples (which include Java-client, JSP, UIX, Java servlet, and other samples).

## Common schema overview

The common schema includes both relational and multidimensional (OLAP) data structures. The data in this schema is the basis for the samples and tutorials delivered with Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer (OracleBI Discoverer), Oracle Business Intelligence Beans (OracleBI Beans), and the Oracle Business Intelligence Spreadsheet Add-in (OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In).

## BI Beans samples overview

Oracle Business Intelligence Beans enables developers to productively build business intelligence applications that take advantage of the rich relational and multi-dimensional (OLAP) functionality in the Oracle database. OracleBI Beans includes presentation beans (graph and crosstab), data beans (query and calculation builders) and persistence services, which may be deployed in both HTML client and Java client applications. OracleBI Beans is seamlessly integrated into Oracle JDeveloper to provide the most productive development environment for building custom BI applications. The tutorials and samples provided here would help you learn how to develop business intelligence applications using BI Beans. Tutorials walk you through the entire development process, step by step, while samples explore a particular functional area in greater detail or demonstrate more complex coding situations.
