ARAdventureWorks is a demonstration of AgoRapide (ARCore) with data from Microsoft's AdventureWorks example dataset.
An online example of this application is found at http://ARAdventureWorksOLAP.AgoRapide.com
Note how queries, although predefined here, do not have to be. You can execute any query directly on-the-fly in your browser as long as you can construct the correct URL for it.

AgoRapide (ARCore) documentation
Author: Bjørn Erling Fløtten, Trondheim, Norway. bef_adventureworks@bef.no
The date and time values in the example database are modified at application startup in order to look fresh, and in order for queries like today's Internet sales to function.
Database original SQL dump was of size 160 MB.
The AgoRapide PropertyStream conversion of the same data is about 172 MB.
In-memory footprint of this application (without any optimizations) is around 240 MB (Baseline memory snapshot done in Visual Studio's Performance Profiler).
Note: Table FactProductInventory has been omitted for practical reasons. It will approximately more than double the conversion size / RAM use.
(See C# source code, Converter, for instructions about how to include it.)
The original database has been extensively improved with relation to field names, unused fields and unnecessary values.
Field names have been shortened, like 'DimProductCategory.EnglishName' instead of 'DimProductCategory.ProductCategoryEnglishName'.
Fields with the same value everywhere have simply been deleted, like 'DimInternetSales.RevisionNumber' which was always '1'.
For fields with a predominantly '0'-value, that value is not included ('0' being replaced with NULL). Example: 'DimEmployeeP.SalesPersonFlag'.
Also, unneccessary tables are not included, like 'DimDate' which is replaced with the concept of FunctionKey (see for instance FunctionKeyAWFiscalYear).
Table 'DimScenario' has been replaced with Scenario.
Other tables not included are 'NewFactCurrencyRate', 'ProspectiveBuyer', 'sysdiagrams', 'DatabaseLog'.
Many strategic EntityMethodKey has been implemented, like TryGetName.
All these improvements radically simplifies the process of browsing and making queries (doing OLAP on the data).
Note that the data in the database is somewhat 'random' in nature, it does not look natural (it gives the impression of being artificially generated). It is therefore difficult to show some natural insights that can be gathered by doing OLAP on the data, so this application mostly demonstrates technical aspects of AgoRapide.
Note: The author welcomes access to a real representative database where som new insights can be made with the help of AgoRapide as an OLAP tool.
