Explanation
A multidimensional database (MDB) is a type of database that is optimized for data warehouse and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) applications. Multidimensional databases are frequently created using input from existing relational databases. Whereas a relational database is typically accessed using a Structured Query Language (SQL) query, a multidimensional database allows a user to ask questions like "How many Aptivas have been sold in Nebraska so far this year?" and similar questions related to summarizing business operations and trends. An OLAP application that accesses data from a multidimensional database is known as a MOLAP (multidimensional OLAP) application. Answer: C is incorrect. A multidimensional database is frequently created using input from existing relational databases.
