Table is a repository object, which gives access to physical table on the server. Repository table structure corresponds to the server table structure. Editing repository table data changes respective data stored in the server table.
Depending on the purpose, all tables can be grouped into two main categories:
Dictionary Tables. A dictionary table is the most basic element of a database; it may store values of a single or multiple dimension levels.
Data Storing Tables. The structure of information tables must satisfy certain conditions:
The first N fields for forming cube axes. In these fields, dictionary elements are stored, from which dimensions will be created. Together these fields must provide a unique definition for a table row, which will enables the user further to define data cell in a cube.
The remaining fields for storing cube indicator values. Creation of a separate index speeds up the data processing.
