OBIEE Up a Mountain

This weeks blog is brought to you from up a mountain in Italy, at a cafe overlooking Lake Garda.
We come here for fantastic sailing competitions and pizza!

Nothing to do with OBIEE except I sometimes get to wear my OracleNerd OBIEE T-Shirt 🙂

7. OBIEE with Key / Name / Value table, the Union solution

Boris Dahav blogs, “A customer asked me to create an analysis on top of a Name – Value table. A table where instead of having one row for each key, there are multiple rows with the structure of Key_Value / Attribute_Name/ Attribute_Value. This structure is very nice for developers. They can add any attribute they want, but it’s a nightmare for reporting.” Read the full blog forthe solution.
