OLAP DML Commands

---

Many OLAP DML statements are commands that perform complex actions. Some of these commands are data definition commands that you use to create an analytic workspace or define objects within an analytic workspace. Data definition commands are introduced in "Creating New Workspaces and Objects".

Other OLAP DML commands are complex data manipulation commands. For example, you can use the OLAP DML SQL command to embed SQL statements in an OLAP DML program in order to copy data from relational tables into analytic workspace data objects, or you can use the AGGREGATE command to calculate summary data. You can also augment the functionality of the OLAP DML by writing an OLAP DML program for use as a command.
