_Subsets

The _Subsets table describes the subsets of the dimensions. A subset is an ordered set of elements contained within the set of elements of a dimension. Subsets can be loaded with the dimension.

This table describes _Subsets:

Column Type Description
DimName String(50) The name of the dimension.
SubsetName String(50) The name of the subset of the dimension.
SubsetKind Integer The type of the subset. Enumerator. The values are:

1 = Element List

2 = Attribute Query (Not implemented)

3 = Data Query (Not implemented)

SubsetCategory Integer The category of subset. Enumerator. The values are:
  • 1 = Static
  • 2 = Dynamic (Not implemented)
SubsetTable Text The name of the relational table from which the subset is sourced. This can be a sub-query.
Comment Text User defined comment.

General information

The DimName column is linked to DimensionName in the _Dimensions table.

A dimension can have any number of subsets. The subsets are loaded when a dimension is loaded (_Jobs.JobType = 1) or when the subsets are loaded for an existing (already loaded) dimension (_Jobs.JobType = 8).
