User Interface Every click is a query. Extremely fast, and very flexible. Click ! The selection propagates through the relational database. The technology used is called AQL.
AQL™ The patented AQL technology performs its associations when a QlikView user makes a query through the point-and-click interface. As a value or several values (in a dimension) are selected, QlikView makes a split second association showing only values (in other dimensions and measures) associated with the current selection. Simultaneously, graphs and tables (holding one or several general expressions), are calculated to show the result of the current selection.
User Interface Any number of Virtual hypercubes (Pivot tables, Diagrams, Gauges etc.) can be put in the QlikView document. These are calculated on demand, i.e. on every click.
Summary • MOLAP • Limited number of dimensions • Not Flexible • ROLAP • Not User-friendly • HOLAP • A poor combination of the two above methods
Summary • Data warehouse not necessary • Unlimited number of dimensions • Possibility for several hypercubes talking to each other • Flexible • User-Friendly
