The use of on-line analytical processing approach in developing host-parasite database system / Nur Imtiazah Bt. Shuhaimi

Biodiversity is a very broad area to explore. The developments of research have resulted in increasing the number of biodiversity data in various formats. The ability of a database in dealing with biodiversity data is essential for the effective management and information dissemination process. T...

The ability of a database in dealing with biodiversity data is essential for the effective management and information dissemination process. The capabilities of a database system rely on the formula or approaches used in operating the system.

The efficiency of online analysis as well as information retrieval which can be manipulated by the user in order to get the required information is seen as one of the factors making OLAP approach very useful in building a database, particularly in biology.
