It cannot pass without quotes because MySQL then resembles it as the function without any argument and returns an error. But, when we pass an empty string with blank quotes then MySQL will return 0 as output. It can be understood with the following example as well −Examplemysql> Select BIT_LENGTH(); ERROR 1582 (42000): Incorrect parameter count in the call to native function 'BIT_LENGTH' mysql> Select BIT_LENGTH(''); +----------------+ | BIT_LENGTH('') | +----------------+ | 0 ...

Multidimensional databases are used mostly for OLAP (online analytical processing) and data warehousing. They can be used to show multiple dimensions of data to users .A multidimensional database is created from multiple relational databases. While relational databases allow users to access data in the form of queries, the multidimensional databases allow users to ask analytical questions related to business or market trends.The multidimensional databases uses MOLAP (multidimensional online analytical processing) to access its data. They allow the users to quickly get answers to their requests by generating and analysing the data rather quickly.The data in multidimensional databases is stored in ... Read More
