Remarks

The flag name may contain spaces. The natively-supported values are listed in the following table.

Value

Description

MODEL_EXISTENCE_ONLY

The column should be modeled as having two states, missing and nonmissing, regardless of the values in the column. This is particularly useful for columns in a nested table, where values are sparse across cases.

NOT NULL

The column cannot accept NULL values.

REGRESSOR

The column supplies regressor values for test cases.

Additional provider-specific flags may be used if third-party OLE DB or data mining providers have been aggregated on the instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services.
