$LOOP_DENSE

The $LOOP_DENSE property is used to determine how to loop the formula on which it is assigned when a OLAP_TABLE SQL function with the LOOP OPTIMIZED clause is executed. It specifies that Oracle OLAP loops densely over the formula (that is, that it loop over every tuple of the formula—even those member cells that do not have values). For more information, see the discussion of the LOOP Clause.

Syntax

You add or delete a $LOOP_DENSE property to the most recently defined or considered formula (see DEFINE and CONSIDER commands) using a PROPERTY statement:

• To add the property, issue the following statement.

  PROPERTY '$LOOP_DENSE' dimension_list

• To delete the property, issue the following statement.

  PROPERTY DELETE '$LOOP_DENSE'

Arguments

dimension_list

One or more names of the dimensions of the formula separated by commas.
