Just wondering two things about Designer 9i:

1. Is there support for the dimension object? I don't mean dimension tables, rather the object that allows you to define levels and hierarchies within dimension tables. I've looked in the help file and can't find any reference to them.

2. This may be a "nice to have" but I have seen it in other CASE tools. Ideally I'd like the tool to include an interface for every possible aspect of every DDL command, but I would settle for the ability to customize or add custom DDL. For example, with foreign keys in a datawarehouse I would like to add RELY NOVALIDATE. Does anyone know a way to do this?

I realize that I could you OWB to model the data warehouse, but Oracle does offer some dimensional modeling and data warehouse specific features within Designer, and I just think that they shouldn't offer an incomplete solution.

Cheers,
Greg
