∗ How to define the most appropriate decision support architecture.
∗ Different DSS tools for the Desktop including EIS, Data Mining, Extended Reporting, and Managed Query.
∗ Configuring SQL Server 7.0 for implementation, table definition, indexing strategies, query processing, and managing and enhancing performance.

∗ How to achieve integration across the environments with OLE DB for OLAP and its key APIs.
∗ Client access using Excel, Visual Basic, Java, English Query, and other query and analysis tools with SQL Server 7.0.
∗ How to leverage the data in the data warehouse once it′s built with various analysis scenarios such as customer relationship management, market basket, and market share.
