Downloading the example code and database for the book

Visit http://www.packtpub.com/files/code/7221_Code.zip to directly download the example code and database.

The downloadable files contain instructions on how to use them.

All of the examples in this book use a sample database based on the Adventure Works sample that Microsoft provides, and which can be downloaded from http://tinyurl.com/SQLServerSamples. We use the same relational data source data to start but then make changes as and when required for building our cubes, and although the cube we build as the book progresses resembles the official Adventure Works cube it differs in several important respects so we encourage you to download and install it.
