Collections, MDStore Interface
The MDStore interface supports the following collections.
| Collection | Description |
|---|---|
| Commands | The collection of user-defined commands or sequence of commands |
| CustomProperties | The collection of user-defined properties |
| DataSources | The collection of objects specifying a data provider |
| Dimensions | The collection that holds the dimension definitions for an object |
| MDStores | The collection that holds MDStore objects |
| Measures | The collection that holds the measures |
| MiningModels | The collection of data mining models contained within a database |
| Roles | The collection that holds the user role definitions for a database |
The following table shows the class types of the objects that each collection can contain.
| Collection | Class type of contained objects |
|---|---|
| Commands | clsCubeCommand clsDatabaseCommand |
| CustomProperties | Property |
| DataSources | clsDataSource |
| Dimensions | clsAggregationDimension clsCubeDimension clsDatabaseDimension clsPartitionDimension |
| MDStores | clsAggregation clsCube clsDatabase clsPartition |
| Measures | clsAggregationMeasure clsCubeMeasure clsPartitionMeasure |
| MiningModels | clsMiningModel |
| Roles | clsCubeRole clsDatabaseRole clsMiningModelRole |
Access Cross-Reference
The following table shows whether a collection is read/write (R/W), read-only (R), or not applicable (n/a) for each of the MDStore objects.
| Collection | clsDatabase | clsCube | clsPartition | clsAggregation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commands | R/W | R/W | n/a | n/a |
| Custom Properties |
R/W | R/W | R/W | R/W |
| DataSources | R/W | R/W* | R/W | n/a |
| Dimensions | R/W | R/W | R | R |
| MDStores | R/W | R/W | R/W | R |
| Measures | n/a | R/W | R | R |
| MiningModels | R/W | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Roles | R/W | R/W | n/a | n/a |
*This property is not applicable (n/a) for virtual cubes (that is, those of SubClassType sbclsVirtual).
