It is often said that SQL is a redundant language, since all but the most simple queries can be written many different ways. Well, I find MDX much more redundant than SQL. There really are thousands of ways to express the same logical query. I like this, since it means that there are lots of opportunities to tune the query by writing it in a different way. Just like SQL. As an MDX writer, I encourage you to strengthen your ability to write queries in different (redundant) ways. This will make you more powerful in query writing and give you more performance opportunities. |
