Daanse Tutorial - Measure Aggregator Text Agg

Data cubes have multiple measures when different aggregations are required for a column.

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.

<relational:Schema xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"  xmlns:relational="http://www.omg.org/spec/CWM/1.1/resource/relational" xmi:id="_schema">
  <ownedElement xsi:type="relational:Table" xmi:id="_table_fact" name="Fact">
    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_key" name="KEY"/>
    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_value" name="VALUE"/>

    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_year" name="YEAR"/>
    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_month" name="MONTH"/>
    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_month_name" name="MONTH_NAME"/>
    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_user" name="USER"/>
    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_comment" name="COMMENT"/>
  </ownedElement>
</relational:Schema>

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.

    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_comment" name="COMMENT"/>
  </relational:Table>
</xmi:XMI>

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
<rolaprel:OrderedColumn xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:rolaprel="https://www.daanse.org/spec/org.eclipse.daanse.rolap.mapping/database/relational" xmi:id="_orderedcolumn_comment">
  <column href="_column_fact_comment"/>
</rolaprel:OrderedColumn>

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