Dimensions Collection

Note

  This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.

A Dimensions collection holds the dimension definitions for a Decision Support Objects (DSO) object. Each of the following objects contains a Dimensions collection:

  • clsDatabase

  • clsCube

  • clsPartition

  • clsAggregation

Each Dimensions collection contains dimension objects of the same class type. The ContainedClassType property of a Dimensions collection specifies the class type of the contained objects.

Remarks

As with other collections in the DSO object model, the AddNew, Find, and Remove methods of Dimensions collections maintain all necessary parent-child relationships among the objects in the object model.
