public abstract class RestrictedSourceExpression

extends ExternalSourceExpression

An abstract class that restricts the rows of data within the source columns for a measure, dimension, or dimension reference in a cube. The restriction can apply to a MeasureSourceExpression, a CubeDimensionSourceExpression, or a DimensionKeySourceExpression.

A RestrictedSourcExpression has a WhereClause that specifies a valid SQL WHERE clause.

If restrictions are placed on the source columns for both measures and dimensions within a cube, the SQL WHERE clauses are concatenated.
