public class ExternalSourceExpression

extends BaseObject

The column mapping for an AWObject. The mapping specifies the relational columns that contain the source data for the object.

An ExternalSourceExpression specifies the source columns in a HierarchicalParentSourceExpression, an AttributeSourceExpression, a DimensionKeySourceExpression, a MeasureSourceExpression, or a CubeDimensionSourceExpression.

A RestrictedSourceExpression can place a restriction on the rows if the source columns are in a DimensionKeySourceExpression, a MeasureSourceExpression, or a CubeDimensionSourceExpression.
