Weaknesses
Forced hierarchies Analytical-only columns
Weaknesses
Transaction detail and scale Limited attributes
The level names are meaningless, since all are of the same type (employees) The maximum number of levels is variable. Depends on the data and business (adding a new employee).
Level Hierarchy
Members with various type names Each type forms a level Each type has different attributes Attributes of the Quarter: Days, etc Attributes of the month: Days, Number in Qtr Attributes of the day: Holiday, Weekday y
Value Hierarchy
All members are of the same type, no matter the level All have the same attributes
Skip-Level
Washington in the District of Columbia does not belong to a state What state is Paris in? Hmm Trick Question!
Column Hierarchies
Hierarchical column provides a preview The attributes or levels use columns
Asymmetric LSQL
This query requests the same metric at 3 levels of detail: "Total ", "Year" and "Half Half The new SQL is more elaborate, but designed for high performance
Asymmetric LSQL
Translates the query into a UNION of symmetrical SELECTs
SELECT 0, 1, CAST(NULL AS VARCHAR(1)), CAST(NULL AS VARCHAR(1)), 'Total', CAST(NULL AS VARCHAR(1)), CAST(NULL AS VARCHAR(1)), "A -Sample Sales"."Base Facts"."1-Revenue" FROM "A -Sample Sales" WHERE ("Customers"."C3 Customer Type" = 'TYPE 1')
UNION ALL SELECT 1, 1, IDOF("A -Sample Sales"."Time"."Time Hierarchy"."Year"), Hierarchy . Year ), CAST(NULL AS VARCHAR(1)), 'Total', "A -Sample Sales"."Time"."T05 Per Name Year", CAST(NULL AS VARCHAR(1)), "A -Sample Sales"."Base Facts"."1Revenue" FROM "A -Sample Sales WHERE ("Customers"."C3 Customer Type" = 'TYPE 1') AND (1 IN (1))
UNION ALL SELECT 2, 1, IDOF("A Sample Sales"."Time"."Time Hierarchy"."Year"), IDOF("A -Sample Sales"."Time"."Time Hierarchy"."Half"), 'Total', "A -Sample Sales"."Time"."T05 Per Name Year", "A -Sample Sales"."Time"."T04 Per Name Half", "A -Sample Sales"."Base Facts"."1-Revenue" FROM "A -Sample Sales" WHERE ("Customers"."C3 Customer Type" = 'TYPE 1') AND (IDOF("A -Sample Sales"."Time"."Time Hierarchy"."Year") IN ('2009')) ORDER BY 1 1, 5 ASC NULLS FIRST FIRST, 6 ASC NULLS FIRST, 7 ASC NULLS FIRST
