Abstract
A method and system for dynamic creation of an OLAP cube is disclosed which enables OLAP cubes to be created from custom database entities and custom database entity relationships. A created cube may be implemented on a local or remote data server using a variety of modular database protocols. A computer-readable medium and system for OLAP cube data permission derivation is also disclosed. OLAP cube data permissions are derived from category data associated with an OLAP database. The resulting cube data permissions are associated with data in the OLAP cube.
