MDSCHEMA_CUBES

This schema rowset describes the structure of cubes that are contained in a database.

Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Analysis Services extends the OLE DB specification with the addition of the following columns to this schema rowset.

Column name Type Description
IS_DRILLTHROUGH_ENABLED DBTYPE_BOOL Describes whether DRILLTHROUGH can be performed on the members of a cube
IS_WRITE_ENABLED DBTYPE_BOOL Describes whether a cube is write-enabled
IS_LINKABLE DBTYPE_BOOL Describes whether a cube can be used in a linked cube
IS_SQL_ALLOWED DBTYPE_BOOL Describes whether or not SQL can be used on the cube

In Analysis Services, the CUBE_TYPE column can contain one the following string values: "CUBE", "VIRTUAL CUBE", or "LINKED CUBE". The value of the column depends on the type of cube the row is describing.

For local cubes, this column contains "CUBE".
