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.

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>
