public abstract class MtmTableOrView

extends MtmTabularSource

An MtmTabularSource that represents a logical table that is based on an existing table or view in the data store. An MtmTableOrView stores the name of the table or view and a list of its columns. An MtmTableOrView is often used to specify the source tables in the FROM clause of a SELECT statement that is constructed by the Oracle OLAP SQL generator. For example, if the name of the table in the data store is UNITS, then the SELECT statement constructed by the SQL generator might be the following:

    SELECT *
    FROM UNITS
