                             AddAttr Hierarchy  | 
                        
                             Specifies the syntax for defining a list of hierarchy attributes. Example (Oracle 10g): child of %DIMNATTRHIER%  | 
                    
| 
                             AddAttribute  | 
                        
                             Specifies the syntax for defining an attribute. Example (Oracle 10g): attribute %DIMNATTR% determines [.O:[(%DIMNDEPCOLNLIST%)][%DIMNDEPCOLN%]]  | 
                    
| 
                             AddHierarchy  | 
                        
                             Specifies the syntax for defining a dimension hierarchy. Example (Oracle 10g): hierarchy %DIMNHIER% ( %DIMNATTRHIERFIRST% %DIMNATTRHIERLIST%)  | 
                    
| 
                             AddJoin Hierarchy  | 
                        
                             Specifies the syntax for defining a list of joins for hierarchy attributes. Example (Oracle 10g): join key [.O:[(%DIMNKEYLIST%)][%DIMNKEYLIST%]] references %DIMNPARENTLEVEL%  | 
                    
| 
                             AddLevel  | 
                        
                             Specifies the syntax for dimension level (attribute). Example (Oracle 10g): level %DIMNATTR% is [.O:[(%DIMNCOLNLIST%)][%DIMNTABL%.%DIMNCOLN%]]  |
