Measure (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 Measure object in Decision Support Objects (DSO) provides support for measures. The Measures collection of the DSO Cube, Partition, and Aggregation objects provides access to cube, partition, and aggregation measures, respectively.
All three types of measures are supported with DSO objects. Each measure object detailed in the following table uses the Measure interface, with the ClassType property set to the appropriate value for the level type as shown.
Measure type |
Measure object |
Measure class type |
|---|---|---|
Cube measure |
CubeMeasure |
clsCubeMeasure |
Partition measure |
PartitionMeasure |
clsPartitionMeasure |
Aggregation measure |
AggregationMeasure |
clsAggregationMeasure |
The Measure object is used to edit the properties, such as the aggregation function and source column, associated with a measure in Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Analysis Services.
