IRdsUniqueKey.UseInSelection

Syntax

UseInSelection: Boolean;

Description

The UseInSelection property determines whether unique key is used on selection creating.

Comments

Available values:

True. The unique key is used on selection creating. It will be possible to use it in order to save and restore selection by dimension based on the MDM dictionary.
Only one unique key used for selection creating can be present in the MDM dictionary. If any key is already used for it, for it the UseInSelection property will be automatically set to False.
False. The unique key is not used for selection creating.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains MDM dictionary with the USE_IN_SELECTION identifier. This dictionary must be out of MDM repository and must be used only as dimension in time series database.

Add links to the Dal, Metabase and Rds system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    mb: IMetabase;
    Dict: IRdsDictionary;
    UniqueKeys: IRdsUniqueKeys;
    UniqueKey: IRdsUniqueKey;
    Attributes: IRdsAttributes;
    Attribute: IRdsAttribute;
Begin
    // Get current repository
    mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get MDM dictionary
    Dict := mb.ItemById("USE_IN_SELECTION").Edit As IRdsDictionary;
    // Get dictionary unique keys
    UniqueKeys := Dict.UniqueKeys;
    // Add new key
    UniqueKey := UniqueKeys.Add;
    // Get dictionary attributes
    Attributes := Dict.Attributes;
    // Add new attribute
    Attribute := Attributes.Add;
    // Set name and type of attribute data
    Attribute.Name := "Unique key";
    Attribute.DataType := DbDataType.String;
    // Set that created attribute is included in the new unique key
    UniqueKey.Contains(Attribute) := True;
    // Set that unique key will be used on selection creating
    UniqueKey.UseInSelection := True;
    // Set that unique key is case-sensitive
    UniqueKey.CaseSensitive := True;
    // Save changes in the MDM dictionary
    (Dict As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example unique key, which can be used to store and restore selection by dimension based on this dictionary will be created in the MDM dictionary.
