What does the term RPD file refer to in OBIEE 11g ?

If you are new to OBIEE, you might be wondering what the term RPD stands for. Most developers refer to RPD as the repository file, while some people refer to it as Rapid File Database. There are also other names like Repository Design, Repository Dictionary etc. The truth is that there is no definition for the abbrevation in any Oracle documentation. However the most commonly used definition would be Rapid File Database.

Sample App Lite RPD that comes default with OBIEE Installation.
The RPD file or the repository file is the physical metadata file for OBIEE server where relationship between Datawarehouse tables and their related objects are stored.
