DISCOVER_LITERALS Rowset
Returns information about literals, including data types and values, supported by the Microsoft XML for Analysis (XMLA) provider.
If you call the Discover method with the DISCOVER_LITERALS enumeration value in the RequestType element, the Discover method returns the DISCOVER_LITERALS rowset.
The DISCOVER_LITERALS rowset contains the following columns.
Column name | Type indicator | Length | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
LiteralName | DBTYPE_WSTR | The name of the literal described in the row. For example: DBLITERAL_LIKE_PERCENT | |
LiteralValue | DBTYPE_WSTR | An actual literal value. For example, if LiteralName is DBLITERAL_LIKE_PERCENT and the percent character (%) matches zero or more characters in a LIKE clause, the value of the LiteralValue column is "%". | |
LiteralInvalidChars | DBTYPE_WSTR | The characters that are not valid in the literal. For example, if table names can contain anything other than a numeric character, this string is "0123456789". | |
LiteralInvalidStartingChars | DBTYPE_WSTR | The characters that are not valid as the first character of the literal. If the literal can start with any valid character, this is null. | |
LiteralMaxLength | DBTYPE_I4 | The maximum number of characters in the literal. If there is no maximum or the maximum is unknown, the value is –1. | |
LiteralNameEnumValue | DBTYPE_I4 |
