Assignment+2


 * Due** **Date**: beginning of class on Thursday April 17, 2008.

This is a team assignment assignment must be completed in groups of 2-4 people.

Each team is free to select either the reporting or OLAP option version of the assignment (but you may not submit both). As mentioned in class, most people are likely to find the reporting option significantly more straightforward than the OLAP option. The amount of effort required, //once the tools are installed and configured//, should be similar for the two assignments. With the OLAP assignment, though, you will need to install and configure a significant amount of server software on your computer. The instructors will attempt to help with OLAP installations as requested but each student's machine configuration is somewhat different and it sometimes proves challenging to get the server software running on a laptop.

Specific deliverables and submission instructions are included with each assignment. Please follow the submission instructions carefully.

For those selecting the Reporting option, Microsoft's AdventureWorks sample reports are available here:
