What is the Extension for a Cube? Which format extension is most efficient extension for cube?

cognostechie

The extension is .mdc (Multi Dimensional Cube).

Haven't heard of any other extension yet.

There is one extension for cube like CognosTechie is saying .

But you can have 2 extensions for the cube models , PYI or MDL

Have a look to this post

Actually, sometimes the MDC has to be split into one MDC and multiple MDP files. For time partitioned cubes the pointer file extension is VCD.

As mentioned above, PYI and MDL are both extensions for models and not cubes.
PYI is in binary format and MDL is ASCII. PYI is more likely to get corrupted sooner than later. So it is always a good practice to use the MDL format insread of working with PYI.
