Database (Decision Support Objects)

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 Database object in Decision Support Objects (DSO) represents a database in Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 Analysis Services. Database objects are accessed in DSO through the MDStores collection of the DSO Server object. As such, the Database object is supported by the MDStore interface, with the ClassType property set to clsDatabase, and the Database interface.

The Database object is used to:

  • Create, edit, and delete commands, data sources, cubes, dimensions, data mining models, and roles applicable to a database in Analysis Services.

  • Manage transactions involving objects that belong to the database, such as cubes, dimensions, and mining models.

  • Provide access to events, using the Database interface, which is used to supply client applications with progress information on currently executing database tasks.
