Your building blocks – Schema Objects

The MicroStrategy Schema Objects are going to be the foundation of any project. These objects serve as building blocks on which other objects will be erected. Generally speaking, Schema Objects are mapped to database structures such as tables or columns with a few exceptions in which other Schema Objects are used as part of their components. Usually, there is only one person at a time creating or modifying Schema Objects. This person is called the project Architect. It is not recommended to have multiple persons modifying Schema Objects since this could lead to metadata inconsistencies and eventually corruption. Once any change has been performed to a schema object, it is necessary to commit this change into the metadata. To do so the Architect must Update Schema.
