ODBC connection to SSAS

[bebbo1986]

Hallo together,
I want to send an MDX query over ODBC or OLEDB to Analysis Services 2008. Is this possible.

To the normal database engine I can connect via ODBC and send SQL queries. But there are no command like 'use CubeName;' and it is not possible to send MDX via this connection, right?

Thanks for any help,
Martin

I've only used the .Net ADOMD library to make a manual connection to SSAS 2008.

For OLEDB, look here under the OLEDB samples, try it out, and let us know how it worked out for you.

Thanks for your answer. Until now it doesn't help me. Because the fact is I want to connect to SSAS from PROLOG and there I haven't got the possibility to use such connections strings, but to connect directly to an odbc connection.

But I will check this in the PROLOG forum.

Thank you so far.
