Abstract
The subject invention pertains to the integration of an object model and a multidimensional database query language such as MDX. In particular, multidimensional declarative query language entities can be exposed through objects in an object model. The object model enables generation and employment of procedural language functions, routines, or procedures that interact with multidimensional database data. This effectively provides an extension for multidimensional query languages. For example, procedures can be stored and invoked from a declarative language query. Furthermore, the object model disclosed herein can expose a context object to enable conditional procedures based on the context of execution.
