The definition of this function says that it retrieves an OLAP Cube from a "SQL Server". Surely this function is not limited to use only against Microsoft database servers
Provide a vendor-neutral definition of this function.
CUBEKPIMEMBER Part 4, Section 3.17.7.65
te
Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment GR-0108 (Modified: 2008-01-11) We agree that this function should be vendor neutral. Additionally, we noticed that the other CUBE* functions contain the same error, and propose to update those subclauses as well. In addition, there was a request to update the examples for CUBEKPIMEMBER to show the return value, which we are refraining from updating. Because these functions return data from an OLAP server, the result of the function calls can change over time and we do not want to suggest that CUBEKPIMEMBER("Sales","MySalesKPI",1) always returns a fixed value in the same way that SUM(1) does. T t he following changes will be made to Part 4, §3.17.7.65, page 2,590, line 17; Part 4, §3.17.7.66, page 2,591, line 19; Part 4, §3.17.7.67, page 2,593, line 1; Part 4, §3.17.7.69, page 2,594, line 22; and Part 4, §3.17.7.71, page 2597, line 4, respectively, to address this issue: 3.17.7.65 CUBEKPIMEMBER Description: Fetches from the OLAP cube on the SQL OLAP S s erver designated by connection, a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) name, property, and measure, and displays the name and property in the cell. … 3.17.7.66 CUBEMEMBER Description: Fetches from the OLAP cube on the SQL S OLAP s erver designated by connection, the member or tuple defined by member-expression. … 3.17.7.67 CUBEMEMBERPROPERTY Description: Fetches a property of a member in the OLAP cube on an SQL S OLAP s erver.
