|||Best...well that's a hard question to answer because what's best for
me would be one that meets my needs. Since my needs would differ from
yours, my best would differ from yours.
Having said that, I find SQL Server Standard and SQL Server Magazine
to be useful. Both are relatively inexpensive and tend to offer good
quality.
SQL Server Magazine provides articles written by a handful of experts
with LOTS of technical expertise and knowledge.
SQL Server Central tends to offer a much more diverse set of authors
with varying levels of expertise and experiences. It's more of a users
helping users kind of approach.
I don't think you'll go wrong with either. Probably even good idea to
get both.

Best material on MDX scripts?

Hi,

I am looking for some good and elaborate material on MDX scripts. I have read "MDX Scripting Fundamentals" at MSDN, but this material seems kind of basic:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms145973(en-US,SQL.90).aspx

Does anyone have a good reference?

/Michael

There aren't any yet, I'm afraid. I've just finished writing the chapter on MDX Scripting for the second edition of 'MDX Solutions' (see http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471748080/qid=1130331934/sr=8-4/ref=pd_bbs_4/102-8919619-9916967?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 ) and had to go direct to the dev team to ask my questions.

There are some examples of more complex MDX Scripts on Mosha's blog (http://www.sqljunkies.com/WebLog/mosha/default.aspx), Richard Tkachuk's site (http://www.sqlserveranalysisservices.com although it seems to be down at the time of writing) and my blog (http://spaces.msn.com/members/cwebbbi/).

HTH

|||Thanks Chris

Seems odd that MS has not produced more elaborate documentation on these new features. Looking forward to the book you are co-authoring, though... Also good to see that the author of the previous "MDX Solutions" is in on it.
