Daanse Tutorial - Level with not unique members ​

A basic OLAP schema with a two levels : level building and level rooms. Catalog has cube with two levels with not unique data in room level

Database Schema ​

The cube defined in this example is based on a one table that stores all the data.

  • The phisical table is named Fact uses for Cube and contains two columns: KEY, BUILDING, ROOM and VALUE. The KEY column serves as a discriminator, while the VALUE column contains the measurements to be aggregated.
xml
<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_building" name="BUILDING"/>
    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_room" name="ROOM"/>
    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_value" name="VALUE"/>
  </ownedElement>
</relational:Schema>

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

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.

xml
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"  xmlns:relational="http://www.omg.org/spec/CWM/1.1/resource/relational" xmlns:rolapsrc="https://www.daanse.org/spec/org.eclipse.daanse.rolap.mapping/database/source">

  <relational:Table xmi:id="_table_fact" name="Fact">

    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_building" name="BUILDING"/>
    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_room" name="ROOM"/>
    <feature xsi:type="relational:Column" xmi:id="_column_fact_value" name="VALUE"/>
  </relational:Table>
</xmi:XMI>

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

Dimension ​

The Dimension has only one hierarchy.

</xmi:XMI>

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

Hierarchy ​

This hierarchy consists two levels Building and Room.

  • 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.

  </relational:Table>
  <rolapsrc:TableSource xmi:id="_tablesource_fact" table="_table_fact"/>
</xmi:XMI>

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

BuildingLevel ​

The Level uses the column attribute to specify the primary key BUILDING from Fact. BUILDING column have unique values

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_building" name="Building" uniqueMembers="true">
  <column href="_column_fact_building"/>
  <nameColumn href="_column_fact_building"/>
</rolaplev:Level>

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

RoomLevel ​

The Level uses the column attribute to specify the primary key ROOM from Fact. ROOM column have not unique values

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_room" name="Room">
  <column href="_column_fact_room"/>
  <nameColumn href="_column_fact_room"/>
</rolaplev:Level>

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

Measure ​

    Measure use Fact table VALUE column with sum aggregation in Cube.
xml
<rolapmeas:SumMeasure xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:rolapmeas="https://www.daanse.org/spec/org.eclipse.daanse.rolap.mapping/olap/cube/measure" xmi:id="_summeasure_measure" name="Measure">
  <column href="_column_fact_value"/>
</rolapmeas:SumMeasure>

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

Cube ​

In this example uses cube with fact table Fact as data.
