Specifying the Field Names in the Fact Table

Specifying the Field Names in the Fact Table

When you compile a cube class, the system generates a fact table class and some related classes. When you build a cube, the system populates these tables, which are described in Details for the Fact and Dimension Tables.

By default, the system generates the names of the columns in the fact table, but you can specify the column names to use instead. To do so, specify a value for the Field name in fact table option for each measure. This option is not available for NLP measures. Take care to use unique names.

Important:

For Field name in fact table, be sure not to use an SQL reserved word. For a list of the SQL reserved words, see Reserved Words. The name must start with either a letter or a percent sign (%). If the first character is %, the second character must be Z or z. For more details on restrictions, see Class Members. Also, do not use fact or listing, in any combination of lowercase and uppercase characters.
