  • RE: upgrade from SQL server 2005 to 2008R2

  • RE: Setting IsAggregatable to False on dimension attributes causes problems

    Usually aggregatable = False is used for hanger dimensions. Even if you think operationally it doesn't make sense to sum the tems, from the cube standpoint, this may not...

  • RE: Redirect Rows is sending all rows after error

    You should have gotten a warning message when you set that that you wouldn't be able to use the rejected records feature.

  • RE: Redirect Rows is sending all rows after error

  • RE: The Express Choice

  • RE: The Number that shouldn't be a number

    SQL is a poor realization of a "true" RDBMS

    Can you explain this a little more. Why is it a "poor" realization? It seems fine in most cases to...

  • RE: The Number that shouldn't be a number

    It is otherwise OK.

    There's nothing wrong with a uniqueidentifier primary key. If the system is going to use an artificial key, it's not much better or worse than an...

  • RE: The Number that shouldn't be a number
