Oracle tricks

Hi there,

We have a BI application that uses SSAS 2005 cubes. This application needs to work with either an Oracle 9i or SQL Server 2000 data mart. Unfortunately, when connecting to Oracle, the Data Source Views in the SSAS project start complaining because of the way Oracle references tables (Schema.TableName etc., compared to SQL which is just TableName).

Are there any tricks to getting a single SSAS 2005 project to work against either an Oracle 9i data mart or a SQL 2000 data mart?

We would really like to avoid having to create and maintain two SSAS projects.

Thanks,

--Phil

I have not tried this, but if you could set up a "dbo" schema in oracle it might work as SQL2000 has a "default schema" of dbo, so dbo.<tablename> should work in both.
