Daanse Tutorial - Measure Aggregator Nth

Data cubes have NTH measures.

Database Schema

The cube defined in this example is based on a single table that stores all the data. The table, named Fact, contains two columns: KEY and VALUE. The KEY column acts as a discriminator, while the VALUE column holds the measurements to be aggregated.

xml
<roma:DatabaseSchema   id="_databaseSchema">
  <tables xsi:type="roma:PhysicalTable" id="_tab" name="Fact">
    <columns xsi:type="roma:PhysicalColumn" id="_col_id" name="ID" type="Integer"/>
    <columns xsi:type="roma:PhysicalColumn" id="_col_value" name="VALUE" type="Integer"/>
    <columns xsi:type="roma:PhysicalColumn" id="_col_name" name="NAME"/>
  </tables>
</roma:DatabaseSchema>

Note: This is only a symbolic example. For the exact definition, see the Definition section.

Ordered Column

Represents a column with specific ordering information used in queries and result sets. OrderedColumn is typically used in OLAP contexts where explicit column ordering is required for query processing or result presentation. OrderedColumn uses ascending by default.

xml
<roma:OrderedColumn  id="_ordered_column_col_value" column="_col_value"/>

Note: This is only a symbolic example. For the exact definition, see the Definition section.

Query

This example uses a TableQuery, as it directly references the physical table Fact.

xml
<roma:TableQuery  id="_query" table="_tab"/>

Note: This is only a symbolic example. For the exact definition, see the Definition section.

Cube, MeasureGroup and NTH Aggragator Measures

In this example, multiple measures are defined. All measures reference the VALUE column and use the following aggregation functions:

  • NTH1 – NTH1 .
  • NTH2 – NTH2 .
  • NTH3 – NTH3 .
  • NTH4 – NTH4 .
  • NTH5 – NTH5 .
  • NTH6 – NTH6 .
  • NTH7 – NTH7 .

<roma:PhysicalCube   id="_cube" name="MeasuresAggregatorsCube" query="_query">
  <dimensionConnectors foreignKey="roma:PhysicalColumn _col_id" dimension="roma:StandardDimension _diml" overrideDimensionName="Dim" id="_dc_dim"/>
  <measureGroups>
    <measures xsi:type="roma:NthAggMeasure" id="_measure1" name="NthAgg1" column="_col_value" orderByColumns="_ordered_column_col_value" n="1"/>

    <measures xsi:type="roma:NthAggMeasure" id="_measure6" name="NthAgg6" column="_col_value" orderByColumns="_ordered_column_col_value" n="6"/>
    <measures xsi:type="roma:NthAggMeasure" id="_measure7" name="NthAgg7" column="_col_value" orderByColumns="_ordered_column_col_value" n="7"/>
  </measureGroups>
</roma:PhysicalCube>
