Daanse Tutorial - Level If Parents Name ​

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 3 tables that stores all the data.

  • The phisical table is named Fact uses for Cube1 and contains two columns: DIM_KEY and VALUE. The DIM_KEY column serves as a discriminator, while the VALUE column contains the measurements to be aggregated.
  • The phisical table is named Level_1 uses for Level1 and contains 2 columns: KEY, NAME .
  • The phisical table is named Level_2 uses for Level2 and contains 3 columns: KEY, NAME, L1_KEY.

</relational:Schema>

Query Fact ​

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.

</xmi:XMI>

Query Level1 ​

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 Level_1.

</xmi:XMI>

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

Query Level1 ​

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 Level_2.

  </relational:Table>
</xmi:XMI>

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

Query Join ​

The JoinSource specifies which TableQueries should be joined. It also defines the columns in each table that are used for the join:

  • In the lower-level table (Level_2), the join uses the foreign key L1_KEY.
  • In the upper-level table (Level_1), the join uses the primary key KEY.

Hierarchy1 ​

This hierarchy consists two levels Level1 and Level2.

  • 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.

Level1 ​

The Level uses the column attribute to specify the primary key KEY from Level_1. Additionally, it defines the nameColumn NAME from Level_1 attribute to specify the column that contains the name of the level.

xml
<rolaplev:Level xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:rolaplev="https://www.daanse.org/spec/org.eclipse.daanse.rolap.mapping/olap/dimension/hierarchy/level" xmi:id="_level_level1" name="Level1">
  <column href="_column_level_1_key"/>
  <nameColumn href="_column_level_1_name"/>
</rolaplev:Level>

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

Level2 ​

The Level uses the column attribute to specify the primary key KEY from Level_2. Additionally, it defines the nameColumn NAME from Level_2 attribute to specify the column that contains the name of the level. Level has attribute IF_PARENTS_NAME Hide members whose name matches their parent member's name. Eliminates redundant display where child members have identical names to their parents in the hierarchy.

  <nameColumn href="_column_level_2_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.
