Dimension table

The DEPM_MOD_DIMENSION table holds the OLAP dimensions for a model.
Name Definition
ID nvarchar(50) NOT NULL; PK
Name nvarchar(50) NOT NULL
IsReference bit NULL
ExtendedProperties (can contain Custom Settings) ntext NULL
ModelName nvarchar(50) NOT NULL
DacTableName nvarchar(50) NULL

The ID of a dimension is unique for the entire Staging database.

Name represents the dimension name in OLAP.

IsReference indicates that the dimension is not modeled but is a placeholder to make the dimension reusable in modeled cubes. For example, a standard dimension of the Infor d/EPM business application can be referenced to make it usable in custom cubes or sub plan modeling.

ExtendedProperties holds additional information about an OLAP dimension in the OLAP Extended Properties.xml format. Examples of the information that is held are the dimension caption, the dimension description, and their translations.

ModelName references a model.

DacTableName references a table from which values for the DAC cube are loaded.

The table has these references:
