I'm not sure what EDW is, but I still don't see what different members accomplish that a simple key wouldn't. If you need to compare data from different days, you select the days to compare using a date key field and you accomplish the same thing.
But that is a different conversation. If you stay with the multi-member approach, I'm not aware of a way to avoid new views each day.

Brian,
The multi-member file is necessary so that comparisons can be made to determine changes to the data for the EDW. Cannot do away with the members. And yes, this happens every day.
Thanks,
Marvin

Wow, you are really adding a new member every day? I think you may have to create the view each day as well.
If I were you, I would go ahead and bite the bullet and do away with the multi-member file. If the format of each member is the same, why not just one member with a key field to separate the days?

Subject: SQL VIEWS over multi-member files
I am trying to create SQL views over multi-member files. I need to change the view to point to a specific member that was created that day. How would I do this? Do I have to recreate the view every day? How do I point to the specific member in the CREATE VIEW statement? I have tried to remove the member but the system doesn't allow that. The system limits a view to one member because it is a view and not a logical file. I see no way to change the view with an SQL statement. Anyone ever successfully tried this?
Thanks,
Marvin
