ALL_OLAP2_JOIN_KEY_COLUMN_USES

ALL_OLAP2_JOIN_KEY_COLUMN_USES is a synonym for ALL$OLAP2UJOIN_KEY_COLUMN_USES.

Each row represents the key information that joins two levels in a hierarchy. If the level is mapped to more than one column, each column mapping is represented in a separate row in the view.

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