==History==

The XMLA specification was first proposed by [[Microsoft]] as a successor for [[OLE DB for OLAP]] in April 2000. By January 2001 it was joined by [[Hyperion Solutions Corporation|Hyperion]] endorsing XMLA. The 1.0 version of the standard was released in April 2001, and in September 2001 the XMLA Council was formed. In April 2002 [[SAS Institute|SAS]] joined Microsoft and Hyperion as founding member of XMLA Council.<ref>{{cite web|title=XML for Analysis gathers steam |url=http://www.olapreport.com/Comment_APIs.htm |deadurlurl-status=yesdead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080528220113/http://www.olapreport.com/Comment_APIs.htm |archivedate=May 28, 2008 }}</ref> With time, more than 25 companies joined with their support for the standard.

XMLA specifies '''MDXML''' as the query language. In the XMLA 1.1 version, the only construct in MDXML is an [[Multidimensional Expressions|MDX]] statement enclosed in the <Statement> tag.<ref>{{cite web|title=MDX / mdXML |url=http://www.xmlforanalysis.com/mdx.htm |deadurlurl-status=yesdead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907093211/http://www.xmlforanalysis.com/mdx.htm |archivedate=September 7, 2008 }}</ref>
