Preview and Edit Tables

MicroStrategy ONE (December 2024) introduces the ability to compare and edit logical tables, enabling a streamlined process to make necessary schema changes. Use the table preview dialog to ensure data model consistency, accuracy, and optimization.

Preview Tables

  1. Open the Workstation window.
  2. In the Navigation pane, click Objects.
  3. Select one or more tables.
  4. Right-click the table(s) and choose Preview.

    You can also access this dialog in the Schema editor. When viewing a schema, right-click a table, and choose Preview.

  5. Choose a table view:

    • Physical View: Displays the physical elements in the table such as the table name, column, and data type.
    • Logical View: Displays the logical organization of the data such as hierarchies, attributes, forms, and metrics.
  6. Close the preview dialog.

Edit Tables

  1. Open the Workstation window.
  2. In the Navigation pane, click Objects.
  3. Select one or more tables.
  4. Right-click the table(s) and choose Edit.

    You can also access this dialog in the Schema editor. When viewing a schema, right-click a table, and choose Edit.

  5. Choose a table view:

    • Physical View: Displays the physical elements in the table such as the table name, column, and data type.
    • Logical View: Displays the logical organization of the data such as hierarchies, attributes, forms, and metrics.
  6. To instruct MicroStrategy to use the mapped attributes as the primary key and avoid aggregating the table during queries, select the Attributes fully represent the table's primary key check box.

  7. Type a value in Logical Size. Logical table sizes affect how the MicroStrategy SQL Engine determines which tables to use in a query. MicroStrategy SQL uses tables with the lowest logical size.

    If this field is greyed out, deselect the check box next to Lock Logical Table Size.

  8. To prevent users from editing the Logical Size, select the Lock Logical Table Size checkbox.

  9. Click Save or Save and Update Schema....
