Daanse Tutorial - Hierarchy View ​

Cube with hierarchy which use SQL query. This example shows combine phisical table as fact and DialectSqlView for hierarchy DialectSqlView represents a virtual table defined by SQL query expressions rather than physical database tables.

Database Schema ​

The cube defined in this example is based on a two tables and and DialectSqlView that stores all the data.

  • The phisical table is named Fact uses for Cube1 and contains two columns: DIM_KEY and VALUE. The KEY column serves as a discriminator, while the VALUE column contains the measurements to be aggregated.
  • The phisical table is named HT uses for Hierarchy and contains 3 columns: KEY, VALUE,NAME .
  • DialectSqlView represents a virtual table defined by SQL query expressions rather than physical database tables.

</relational:Schema>

Query ​

The bridge between the cube and the database is the query element. In this case, it is a TableQuery, as it directly references the physical table Fact.

HT_VIEW ​

Dimension ​

The Dimension has only one hierarchy.

Hierarchy ​

This hierarchy consists level Level1.

  • The primaryKey attribute specifies the column that contains the primary key of the hierarchy.
  • The query attribute references the query used to retrieve the data for the hierarchy. Query uses SqlView HT_VIEW as data sourse.

Level1 ​

The Level uses the column attribute to specify the primary key KEY from SqlView HT_VIEW. Additionally, it defines the nameColumn NAME from SqlView HT_VIEW attribute to specify the column that contains the name of the level.

  <nameColumn href="_column_ht_view_name"/>
</rolaplev:Level>

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

Measure1 ​

Measure1 use Fact table VALUE column with sum aggregation in Cube.

</rolapmeas:SumMeasure>

Cube ​

In this example uses cube with fact table Fact as data. This example shows combine phisical table as fact and DialectSqlView for hierarchy
