MDSCHEMA_HIERARCHIES Rowset
Describes each hierarchy within a particular dimension.
Rowset Columns
The MDSCHEMA_HIERARCHIES rowset contains the following columns.
| Column name | Type indicator | Length | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
CATALOG_NAME |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
The name of the catalog to which this hierarchy belongs. NULL if the provider does not support catalogs. |
|
SCHEMA_NAME |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
Not supported |
|
CUBE_NAME |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
(Required) The name of the cube to which this hierarchy belongs. |
|
DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
The unique name of the dimension to which this hierarchy belongs. For providers that generate unique names by qualification, each component of this name is delimited. |
|
HIERARCHY_NAME |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
The name of the hierarchy. Blank if there is only a single hierarchy in the dimension. This will always have a value in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS). |
|
HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
The unique name of the hierarchy. |
|
HIERARCHY_GUID |
DBTYPE_GUID |
Not supported |
|
HIERARCHY_CAPTION |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
A label or a caption associated with the hierarchy. Used primarily for display purposes. If a caption does not exist, HIERARCHY_NAME is returned. If the dimension either does not contain a hierarchy or has just one hierarchy, this column will contain the name of the dimension. |
|
DIMENSION_TYPE |
DBTYPE_I2 |
The type of the dimension. Valid values include the following values:
|
|
HIERARCHY_CARDINALITY |
DBTYPE_UI4 |
The number of members in the hierarchy. |
|
DEFAULT_MEMBER |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
The default member for this hierarchy. This is a unique name. Every hierarchy must have a default member. |
|
ALL_MEMBER |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
The member at the highest level of the rollup. |
|
DESCRIPTION |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
A human-readable description of the hierarchy. NULL if no description exists. |
|
STRUCTURE |
DBTYPE_I2 |
The structure of the hierarchy. Valid values include the following values:
|
|
IS_VIRTUAL |
DBTYPE_BOOL |
Always returns False. |
|
IS_READWRITE |
DBTYPE_BOOL |
A Boolean that indicates whether the Write Back to dimension column is enabled. Returns TRUE if the Write Back to dimension column that represents this hierarchy is enabled. |
|
DIMENSION_UNIQUE_SETTINGS |
DBTYPE_I4 |
Always returns MDDIMENSIONS_MEMBER_KEY_UNIQUE (1). |
|
DIMENSION_MASTER_UNIQUE_NAME |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
Always returns NULL. |
|
DIMENSION_IS_VISIBLE |
DBTYPE_BOOL |
Always returns true. If the dimension is not visible, it will not appear in the schema rowset. |
|
HIERARCHY_ORDINAL |
DBTYPE_UI4 |
The ordinal number of the hierarchy across all hierarchies of the cube. |
|
DIMENSION_IS_SHARED |
DBTYPE_BOOL |
Always returns TRUE. |
|
HIERARCHY_IS_VISIBLE |
DBTYPE_BOOL |
A Boolean that indicates whether the hieararchy is visible. Returns TRUE if the hierarchy is visible; otherwise, FALSE. |
|
HIERARCHY_ORIGIN |
DBTYPE_UI2 |
A bit mask that determines the source of the hierarchy:
A parent/child attribute hierarchy is both MD_USER_DEFINED and MD_SYSTEM_ENABLED. |
|
HIERARCHY_DISPLAY_FOLDER |
DBTYPE_WSTR |
The path to be used when displaying the hierarchy in the user interface. Folder names will be separated by a semicolon (;). Nested folders are indicated by a backslash (\). |
|
INSTANCE_SELECTION |
DBTYPE_UI2 |
A hint to the client application on how to show the hierarchy. Valid values include the following values:
|
The rowset is sorted on CATALOG_NAME, SCHEMA_NAME, CUBE_NAME, DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME, HIERARCHY_NAME.
