What is the OLAP DML?

The OLAP DML is the original language for defining Oracle OLAP objects and manipulating Oracle OLAP data.

The OLAP DML defines, populates, and manipulates the multidimension data that is stored in an analytic workspace.

The OLAP DML works directly against this data; it does not make, need, or update any relational views of the analytic workspace.

The OLAP DML is a multidimensional language. The data objects that you define using the OLAP DML are multidimensional objects. When you use OLAP DML statements to perform operations against these multidimensional data objects, those operations apply all at once to entire set of values contained by these objects.
