In 2012, I had the opportunity to co-author Developing Essbase Applications: Advanced Techniques for Finance and IT Professionals, a comprehensive guide to maximizing the capabilities of Oracle Essbase. This book provides advanced strategies and best practices for building scalable, high-performance applications that meet complex business requirements.

I authored Chapter 6 – Practical MDX for Essbase Developers, which explores the Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) language—essential for querying, manipulating data, and defining member formulas in Essbase Aggregate Storage (ASO) databases. The chapter serves as a practical reference, covering:

✅ MDX fundamentals, including query structure and syntax
✅ Using MDX for advanced calculations and member formulas
✅ Optimization strategies for performance tuning
✅ Practical use cases for administrators and developers

For professionals looking to deepen their expertise in Essbase, this book remains a valuable resource.
