I designed a relational database in sql server and i need to use cognos powerplay on it. The thing is that the administrator of the tool who i'm working with says that relational databases can not be used, only databases with hierarchy are usefull to desing a cube. I think that realtional database are new technology and a tool like cognos powerplay should be designed for both databases types.
The client who i'm working for is tired of the lack of flexibility that hierarchys force, because it makes you go to lower levels all the time in things that you need to see at the same level, so that's why i designed the relational database but i can't use it yet.
Is cognos poerplay usefull on relational databases??

Thanks

Cognos PowerPlay will recognise the relational database structure. I am using it and just works fine for me.
