OLAP DML Properties

---

A property is a named value that is associated with a definition of an analytic workspace object. You name, create, and assign properties to an object using a PROPERTY statement.

Properties that begin with a $ (dollar sign) are recognized by Oracle OLAP as system properties. You assign system properties to objects the same way that you create other properties; however, you must give them the appropriate name in order for Oracle OLAP to recognize them.

Some system properties are key to the use of the OLAP DML. For example there are system properties that you can use in place of keywords in DML statements. These system properties are listed in"System Properties by Category" and documented as reference topics in Alphabetic Reference.

OLAP has other system properties that are not as integral to the use of the OLAP DML. For example, properties are part of the object definitions for an analytic workspace that has database standard form.
