Représentation (tabulaire) d'une relation
Une relation est une connexion entre deux tables de données. La relation établit la façon dont les données des deux tables doivent être mises en corrélation.
Consultez Représentation (tabulaire) d'une relation pour une explication détaillée sur la façon de créer et manipuler la représentation d'une relation.
Représentation d'une relation
Dans les modèles tabulaires, plusieurs relations peuvent être définies entre deux tables. Lorsque plusieurs relations entre deux tables sont définies, une seule peut être définie en tant que relation par défaut pour le modèle et est nommée comme relation active ; toutes les autres relations sont nommées comme inactives.
Relation dans AMO
En termes d'objets AMO, toutes les relations inactives ont une représentation de relation de mappage un-à-un avec Relationship et aucun autre objet AMO principal n'est requis ; pour la relation active, d'autres exigences existent et un mappage à ReferenceMeasureGroupDimension est également requis.
Les extraits de code suivants montrent comment créer une relation dans les modèles tabulaires, comment activer une relation et comment définir une clé primaire dans une table (autre que « RowNumber »). Pour créer une relation active, une clé primaire doit être définie dans la table de clé primaire (PKTableName) de la relation (le côté « un » de la relation). L'exemple ci-après crée la clé primaire sur PKColumnName si aucune clé primaire n'est définie dans cette colonne. Les relations inactives peuvent être créées sans clé primaire sur la colonne de clé primaire.
