public interface MetadataObject
MetadataObject
has a unique identifier (ID) that persists from one MetadataProvider
instance to another. Therefore, an application can store the ID for a MetadataObject
in one session, and then it can use it in a later session. However, if the name or the owner of a metadata object changes, then the ID changes as well and the stored ID is no longer valid.
This interface is also implemented by the oracle.olapi.data.source.FundamentalMetadataObject
class. Instances of that class represent fundamental operations such as addition and OLAP Java API fundamental data types such as Integer.
