I'm very excited to be working with SQL 2016. I've been reading documentation sections here,https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175613.aspx
But I have these questions:
1. Why UTF-16? What does UTF 16 give that UTF-8 doesn't? What am I missing here?
2. I keep running into MDX and Tabular conflicts. I've come to the conclusion that if your hardcore, you use MDX but if your for self-service then your tabular. How do I get this make the right choice and design this so I don't have to rip and replace later?
3. What is the "Designer" the documentation keeps talking about to view the Multidimensional models,https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230908.aspx
"1. Open the Adventure Works multidimensional model in the designer." Is this the SSDT or SSMS?
