Update (Dimension Interface)

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 Update method of the Dimension interface updates the definition of a dimension object in the meta data repository.

Applies To:clsDatabaseDimension

Syntax

object.Update

Remarks

  • object
    The Dimension object to update.

Remarks

Objects of ClassType clsAggregationDimension, clsCubeDimension, and clsPartitionDimension do not implement the Update method. They are automatically updated when the Update method of the parent MDStore object is called.

Example

The following example changes the Description and LastUpdated properties for the Product dimension of the FoodMart 2000 database and updates the dimension on the Analysis server:

    Dim dsoServer As New DSO.Server
    Dim dsoDB As DSO.MDStore
    Dim dsoDim As DSO.Dimension
    
    ' Connect to local Analysis server.
    dsoServer.Connect "LocalHost"
    
    ' Open FoodMart 2000 database.
    Set dsoDB = dsoServer.MDStores("FoodMart 2000")

    ' Open the Product dimension.
    Set dsoDim = dsoDB.Dimensions("Product")
    
    ' Change the description and update date
    ' of the dimension.
    dsoDim.Description = "Product dimension"
    dsoDim.LastUpdated = Now
    
    ' Update the dimension.
    dsoDim.Update
    
    ' Clean up.
    Set dsoDim = Nothing
    Set dsoDB = Nothing
    dsoServer.CloseServer
    Set dsoServer = Nothing
