Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Online analytical processing (OLAP) is the process of analyzing data in a multi-dimensional database. It involves quickly conducting complex analysis of data stored in a database that is optimized for retrieval. OLAP typically uses graphical software tools to help users analyze data from multiple perspectives. Other options such as data mining and predictive analysis are related to data analytics but do not specifically refer to the process of analyzing data in a multidimensional database optimized for retrieval.
