master data set
- in TurboIMAGE, a collection of rows of data entries, distinguished
by the content of a single field, or column; a parent table. See parent
table.
MDD
- Multidimensional Database; a database architecture used to perform
OLAP by summarizing data into a special database structure. See OLAP.
MDK Index
- Multi-dimensional Keyword Index.
meta-data
- also meta data or metadata; data which describes data, i.e., data
characteristics such as field name, field length for data storage requirements,
data type, field definition, data source, etc. See also: Metadata.
metrics
- Columns or fields that are used to summarize data;
- Columns that are used by the functions SUM, MIN, MAX, and AVG in container
applications.
mode
- an intrinsic parameter that specifies what type of action is to be
performed.
MOLAP
- Multidimensional On Line Analytical Processing; data analysis using
server-based tools that rely on computed cubes of data to speed responses
to queries. See OLAP, MDD, and ROLAP.
MS Query
- a Microsoft query program used by Word, Excel, and other Microsoft
tools, run stand-alone or automatically when accessing database data
from Word, Excel, or other Microsoft tools.
multi-dimensional
- a database design in which data is viewed using more than two sets
of criteria.
Multi-dimensional
Keyword Index
- composite (one or more items from a field) keyword keys composed of
data from one or more tables. Also known as MDK Indexes. See OMNIDEX
indexes and keyword indexes.
Multifind
- a retrieval feature that supports keyword searches across domains
using field values from previously qualified records as keyword arguments
against a table in a different domain.
Multiple key
- a field specified for OMNIDEX keyword retrieval. See OMNIDEX indexes,
keyword indexes and MDK Index.
Multiple key access
- the ability of OMNIDEX to qualify records based on arguments entered
against several keys.
Multi-RIN (MR) capability
- a feature used to lock several data resources simultaneously. This
capability is used by programs that update or lock OMNIDEX databases,
data sets, or items.
