Using the Connection Wizard to set up an ASO cube


In this recipe, we will create a Data Source and minischema for the ASOsamp application. We will also set up joins for tables that have a recursive relationship, and identify the dimensions, attributes, and fact tables in our model. Finally, we will review why the ASO model is a good choice for the ASOsamp application.
