ICubeMetaExporterBinding.DataDomain

Syntax

Description

The DataDomain property determines data type that is used to store multibyte information in attribute.

Comments

This property for attribute of the Long Text type must be set to DbDataDomain.Memo, and the IMetaAttribute.DataType property must be set to DbDataType.String.

Consider the following constraints on working with the Long Text attribute:

If Oracle or Teradata DBMS is used, it is not available to search for time series by this attribute value.
These attributes cannot be included into a unique index for time series database.
These attributes cannot be mandatory.
Sampling and saving of those attributes can be more slow than with simple text attributes.
Mnemonics cannot use attributes of table MDM dictionary with the Long Text type.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a time series database with the TSDB_MEMO identifier containing the following time series attributes:

Observation attribute with the A_COMMENT identifier of the Long Text type.
Series attribute with the CITY identifier that is a link to a dictionary.

Add links to the Cubes, Dal, Dimensions, Dt, Metabase, Rds system assemblies.
