Configuring the DB query

Procedure

  1. The relational database we want to query contains five columns: media, drink, unit_sales, store_cost and store_sales.
  2. The query aims at retrieving the unit_sales, store_cost and store_sales figures for various media / drink using an MDX query such as in the example below:
  3. Back on the Basic settings tab of the tMondrianInput component, set the Catalog path to the data warehouse. This catalog describes the structure of the warehouse.
  4. Then type in the MDX query such as: 
    "select
   {[Measures].[Unit Sales], [Measures].[Store Cost], [Measures].[Store
Sales]} on columns,
   CrossJoin(
     { [Promotion Media].[All Media].[Radio],
       [Promotion Media].[All Media].[TV],
       [Promotion Media].[All Media].[Sunday Paper],
       [Promotion Media].[All Media].[Street Handout] },
     [Product].[All Products].[Drink].children) on rows
 from Sales
 where ([Time].[1997])"
  5. Eventually, select the Encoding type on the list.
