AS2005: MemberUniqueNameStyle = NamePath

Hi,

After having performance problems we implemented the Attribute Relationship in the cubes, but 99% of the hierarchies do not have a unique key for the levels. The suggestion from MS was to create the key as a collection from the parents to the level itself. Isn't it equivalent to MemberUniqueNameStyle = NamePath?

MemberUniqueNameStyle = NamePath (Analysis Services generates a compound name consisting of the name of each level and the caption of the member.) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174900(SQL.90).aspx.

Thanks.

No, MemberUniqueNameStyle simply controls how Analysis Services generates the unique names of members - it doesn't affect the members or attribute relationships themselves. By using composite keys for your attributes, however, you will see changes in unique names generated using the default key-based algorithm.

HTH,

Chris
