Elvis, Looked at the presentation. While it has some good information, some I can use later, it doesn't talk about DB2 Cube Views anywhere. DB2 Cube Views would only be from IBM. A few vendors, like SPSS, have created their own data warehouse application that is build on DB2/400 but adds in their own way of storing data and a PC server to "cube" things. While SPSS is a super tool set, it is also expensive and might me more than what we need at this time. My point was, if DB2/400 has a DB2 Cube Views "add-on" product feature code then QMF for Windows can do OLAP queries out of the box and I may not have to buy the other vendor's expensive "value add" tools. The other DB2s for VM and MVS have a DB2 Cube Views product so OLAP Queries in QMF for Windows works automagically. But if DB2/400 is downlevel from the real DB2s then there is no DB2 Cube Views and thus the full features of certain tools can't work. If that's the case, how sad. That's probably the case since most IT shops don't consider the System i5 to be something in which to build true data warehouses; also sad. But the question remains, is there a DB2 Cube Views for DB2/400. Thanks, Dave
