public class AWCubeOrganization
extends CubeOrganization

A CubeOrganization for an analytic workspace. An AWCubeOrganization contains options that affect the data loading, aggregation method, storage, and querying of an MdmCube. You create an AWCubeOrganization with the createAWOrganization method of the MdmCube.

One option controls the creation of materialized views (MVs) for the measures and dimensions that are associated with the cube. MVs can be automatically refreshed, which can be useful in maintaining the analytic workspace. An MV can be used by the database query rewrite system, which can result in significantly enhanced performance of SQL queries. However, a cube that uses MVs has limitations because the cube must meet certain requirements, which are listed in the description of the setMVOption method. Another limitation is that a cube that has MVs can not have a derived measure.

The Oracle Database has systems for refreshing the data associated with an MV and for transparently rewriting a query so that it uses an MV. With the setMVOption method, you can specify whether or not to create an MV and the type of MV to create. The options that specify the creation of an MV determine the structure of the MV and the conditions required for the creation of the MV. For those requirements, see the setMVOption method. If you specify the creation of a MV, then you can use an MVCreationOptions object to set values that affect the actual creation of the MV and that can replace the default values.

For more information on cube partitioning, sparsity types, storage types, and the use of MVs, see Oracle OLAP User's Guide.
