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 MDStore interface supports the following properties.

Property	Description
AggregationPrefix	Contains the prefix that associates the MDStore object with an aggregation in the store.
AllowDrillThrough	Indicates whether drillthrough is allowed on the cube.
Analyzer	The analyzer object for the store.
ClassType	Returns an enumeration constant identifying the specific object type.
DefaultMeasure	The name of the default measure for the object.
Description	The description of the store.
DrillThroughColumns	The columns that are included in a drillthrough query.
DrillThroughFilter	The statement restricting rows that are returned by a drillthrough query.
DrillThroughFrom	An SQL FROM clause with the names of the tables used in drillthrough queries.
DrillThroughJoins	An SQL JOIN clause with the names of the tables used in drillthrough queries.
EstimatedRows	The estimated number of rows in the store.
EstimatedSize	Estimated size of all rows, in bytes, in the store.
FromClause	A comma-separated list of the tables from which the store data is obtained.
IsDefault	Indicates whether the store is the default store.
IsReadWrite	Indicates whether the MDStore object is writable.
IsTemporary	Indicates whether the object is temporary.
IsValid	Indicates whether the store object is valid.
IsVisible	Indicates whether a cube is visible to clients.
JoinClause	A list of join conditions separated by AND.
LastProcessed	The date and time a store was last processed.
LastUpdated	A user-defined date. This property is not used by Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 Analysis Services.
Name	The name of the store.
OlapMode	Returns an enumeration constant that identifies the type of OLAP mode of the store.
Parent	Returns a reference to the parent MDStore object.
ProcessingKeyErrorLimit	Sets the number of allowable errors that can occur before processing will be stopped.
ProcessingKeyErrorLogFileName	The UNC path to a file for logging dimension key errors encountered during processing.
ProcessOptimizationMode	Indicates whether the Analysis server creates indexes and aggregations during or after processing.
RemoteServer	The name of the remote server where the data for the MDStore object is stored.
Server	Returns a reference to the DSO.Server object.
SourceTable	The name of the source table for the store.
SourceTableAlias	The alias of the source table for the MDStore object.
SourceTableFilter	The SQL expression that specifies the source table records to include in the store.
State	Returns an enumeration constant indicating the difference between the MDStore object that is referenced by the DSO client application and the corresponding MDStore object on the Analysis server.
SubClassType	Returns an enumeration constant that identifies the subclass type of the object.

Property Cross-Reference
