In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), a data source view is a diagram of one or more relational data sources for the SSAS database. Developers use components from the data source view to construct the SSAS database's objects (e.g. dimensions and measure groups). SSAS uses the data source view to compose SQL queries that populate the SSAS database's objects with data from a relational data source.
