OlapMode (MDStore Interface)

OlapMode (MDStore Interface)

The OlapMode property of the MDStore interface contains the OLAP storage mode assigned to the MDStore object.

Applies To

clsAggregation

clsCube (excluding virtual cubes)

clsDatabase

clsPartition

Data Type

OlapStorageModes

Access

Read/write

Remarks

The OlapMode property defines the storage mode for each fact table and aggregation in an MDStore object. Possible storage modes are relational OLAP (ROLAP) and multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP). Hybrid OLAP (HOLAP) storage combines ROLAP and MOLAP storage modes. Setting this property for a clsDatabase object defines the default storage mode for new cubes created within the database, whereas setting this property for a clsCube object defines the default storage mode for new partitions created within the cube.

This property is read-only and always olapmodeROLAP for a linked cube (that is, a cube of SubClassType of sbclsLinked).
