1. An object that is a member of a group,
and is immediately below that group object in its group tree. The objects
that compose a group object are children of that group. Every object is
a child of its parent.
2. (Oracle Express) A dimension value at the level immediately below a
particular value in a hierarchy. Values of children are included in the
calculation that produces the aggregated total for a parent. A dimension
value may be a child for more than one parent if the dimension has more
than one hierarchy. The following example shows the dimension values "Lyon"
and "Paris" as the children of "France" in the GEOGRAPHY
dimension.
