The name of the cube.

DIMENSION_NAME

DBTYPE_WSTR

The name of the dimension. If a dimension is part of more than one cube or measure group, then there is one row for each unique combination of dimension, measure group, and cube.

DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME

DBTYPE_WSTR

DIMENSION_TYPE

DBTYPE_I2

The type of the dimension. Valid values include:

  • MD_DIMTYPE_UNKNOWN (0)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_TIME (1)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_MEASURE (2)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_OTHER (3)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_QUANTITATIVE (5)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_ACCOUNTS (6)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_CUSTOMERS (7)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_PRODUCTS (8)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_SCENARIO (9)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_UTILIY (10)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_CURRENCY (11)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_RATES (12)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_CHANNEL (13)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_PROMOTION (14)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_ORGANIZATION (15)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_BILL_OF_MATERIALS (16)
  • MD_DIMTYPE_GEOGRAPHY (17)

DIMENSION_CARDINALITY

DBTYPE_UI4

The number of members in the key attribute.

DEFAULT_HIERARCHY

DBTYPE_WSTR

A hierarchy from the dimension. Preserved for backwards compatibility.

DESCRIPTION

DBTYPE_WSTR

A user-friendly description of the dimension.

IS_VIRTUAL

DBTYPE_BOOL

Always FALSE.

DBTYPE_BOOL

A Boolean that indicates whether the dimension is write-enabled.

TRUE if the dimension is write-enabled.

DIMENSION_UNIQUE_SETTINGS

Always NULL.

DIMENSION_IS_VISIBLE

DBTYPE_BOOL

Always TRUE.
