Book

Brief

This book will help you understand MS SQL Server 2019’s new features and improvements, especially when it comes to SSAS. First, you’ll cover a quick overview of SQL Server 2019 and learn how to choose the right analytical model to use, along with understanding their key differences. You’ll get to grips with creating a multidimensional model with SSAS and expand on that model with MDX measures. Next, you’ll create and deploy a tabular model using Visual Studio and Management Studio. Later chapters show you when and how to use both tabular and multidimensional model types, how to deploy and configure your servers to support them, and design principles that are relevant to each model. The book even comes packed with tips and tricks to build measures, optimize your design, and interact with models using Excel and Power BI. All this will help you to visualize data to gain useful insights and make better decisions. Finally, you’ll discover practices and tools for securing and maintaining your models once they are deployed. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to choose the right model and build and deploy it to support the analytical needs of your business.
