Daanse Tutorial - Writeback View ​

This tutorial discusses writeback with fact as sql view.

Database Schema ​

The Database Schema contains the

  • SqlView FACT with 3 columns VAL, VAL1, L2. The L2 column is used as the discriminator in the Level and Hierarchy definitions
  • L1 table with two columns: L1 and L2.
  • L2 table with one column: L2.
  • FACTWB table with 4 columns: VAL, VAL1, ID, USER.

Cubec C ​

Cube C is defined by DimensionConnector D1 and a MeasureGroup containing two measures using SUM aggregation. The cube also contains a FACTWB WritebackTable configuration with a WritebackAttribute mapped to the VAL column from the fact table, along with two WritebackMeasures: WbMeasure1 and WbMeasure2.
