OLAP Catalog (CWM2-Specific) Views , 24 of 25


ALL$OLAP2_JOIN_KEY_COLUMN_USES

Each row represents the key information that joins two levels in a hierarchy. Multiple column keys are represented by multiple rows in the view, one for each column use.

In a snowflake schema, where levels are defined in separate dimension tables, levels in a hierarchy have a logical foreign key relationship. When levels are defined within the same dimension table, the child level key specifies its position in the hierarchy.
