The Oracle Database OLAP Option implements On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) within an Oracle database environment. Oracle Corporation markets the Oracle Database OLAP Option as an extra-cost option to supplement the "Enterprise Edition" of its database. (Oracle offers Essbase for customers without the Oracle Database or who require multiple data-sources to load their cubes.)
As of Oracle Database 11g, the Oracle database optimizer can transparently redirect SQL queries to levels within the OLAP Option cubes. The cubes are managed and can take the place of multi-dimensional materialized views, simplifying Oracle data-warehouse management and speeding up query response.
The Oracle Database OLAP Option offers:
The Oracle database tablespace CWMLITE
stores OLAPSYS
schema
objects and integrates Oracle Database OLAP Option with the
Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB).

The CWMLITE name reflects the use of CWM — the
Common Warehouse Metamodel, which
Oracle Corporation refers to as "Common Warehouse Metadata".
