Partition (Decision Support Objects)
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.
The Partition object in Decision Support Objects (DSO) provides access to partitions in Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Analysis Services. Access to partitions associated with cubes in Analysis Services is supplied by the MDStores collection of the DSO Cube object. As such, the Partition object uses the MDStore interface, with a ClassType property of clsPartition.
The Partition object is used to:
Provide access to data sources, dimensions, aggregations, and measures associated with a partition in Analysis Services.
Update partitions programmatically.
Manage locks on partitions.
