Understanding Dimensions

A dimension is an OLAP Catalog metadata entity. This means that it is a logical object, identified by name and owner, within the OLAP Catalog. Logical OLAP dimensions are fully described in.


Note:

Dimensions in CWM2 map directly to columns in dimension tables and have no relationship to Oracle database dimension objects.

Use the procedures in the CWM2_OLAP_DIMENSION package to create, drop, and lock CWM2 dimension entities and to specify descriptive information for display purposes. To fully define a CWM2 dimension, follow the steps listed in "Creating a Dimension".
