public final class FundamentalMetadataObject

extends java.lang.Object

implements MetadataObject

An object that represents a data type, function, or function parameter used by the Oracle OLAP API. Typically, application programmers only use the objects that represent Oracle OLAP API data types. They do not use the objects that represent Oracle OLAP API functions or their parameters. To get a FundamentalMetadataObject you use a method of the FundamentalMetadataProvider class. For example, to get a FundamentalMetadataObject that represents the OLAP API Boolean data type, use the FundamentalMetadataProvider.getBooleanDataType() method.

A FundamentalMetadataObject has a unique identifier (ID) that persists from one MetadataProvider instance to another. Therefore, an application can store the ID for a given FundamentalMetadataObject during one connection to the datastore, and then it can use that ID in a later connection. Of course, repeated use assumes that the FundamentalMetadataObject has not changed from connection to connection.
