      • Query

        public Query​(java.lang.String name,
                     Cube cube)
              throws java.sql.SQLException
        Constructs a Query object.
        Parameters:
        name - Any arbitrary name to give to this query.
        cube - A Cube object against which to build a query.
        Throws:
        java.sql.SQLException - If an error occurs while accessing the cube's underlying connection.
    • Method Detail

      • getSelect

        public SelectNode getSelect()
        Returns the MDX parse tree behind this Query. The returned object is generated for each call to this function. Altering the returned SelectNode object won't affect the query itself.
        Returns:
        A SelectNode object representing the current query structure.
      • getCube

        public Cube getCube()
        Returns the underlying cube object that is used to query against.
        Returns:
        The Olap4j's Cube object.
      • getDimension

        public QueryDimension getDimension​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the Olap4j's Dimension object according to the name given as a parameter. If no dimension of the given name is found, a null value will be returned.
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the dimension you want the object for.
        Returns:
        The dimension object, null if no dimension of that name can be found.
      • swapAxes

        public void swapAxes()
        Swaps rows and columns axes. Only applicable if there are two axes.
      • getAxis

        public QueryAxis getAxis​(Axis axis)
        Returns the query axis for a given axis type.

        If you pass axis=null, returns a special axis that is used to hold all unused hierarchies. (We may change this behavior in future.)

        Parameters:
        axis - Axis type
        Returns:
        Query axis
      • getAxes

        public java.util.Map<Axis,​QueryAxis> getAxes()
        Returns a map of the current query's axis.

        Be aware that modifications to this list might have unpredictable consequences.

        Returns:
        A standard Map object that represents the current query's axis.
      • getUnusedAxis

        public QueryAxis getUnusedAxis()
        Returns the fictional axis into which all unused dimensions are stored. All dimensions included in this axis will not be part of the query.
        Returns:
        The QueryAxis representing dimensions that are currently not used inside the query.
      • tearDown

        public void tearDown​(boolean closeConnection)
        Safely disposes of all underlying objects of this query.
        Parameters:
        closeConnection - Whether or not to call the Connection.close() method of the underlying connection.
      • tearDown

        public void tearDown()
        Safely disposes of all underlying objects of this query and closes the underlying OlapConnection.

        Equivalent of calling Query.tearDown(true).

      • validate

        public void validate()
                      throws OlapException
        Validates the current query structure. If a dimension axis has been placed on an axis but no selections were performed on it, the default hierarchy and default member will be selected. This can be turned off by invoking the setSelectDefaultMembers(boolean) method.
        Throws:
        OlapException - If the query is not valid, an exception will be thrown and it's message will describe exactly what to fix.
      • execute

        public CellSet execute()
                        throws OlapException
        Executes the query against the current OlapConnection and returns a CellSet object representation of the data.
        Returns:
        A proper CellSet object that represents the query execution results.
        Throws:
        OlapException - If something goes sour, an OlapException will be thrown to the caller. It could be caused by many things, like a stale connection. Look at the root cause for more details.
      • getName

        public java.lang.String getName()
        Returns this query's name. There is no guarantee that it is unique and is set at object instanciation.
        Returns:
        This query's name.
      • getLocale

        public java.util.Locale getLocale()
        Returns the current locale with which this query is expressed.
        Returns:
        A standard Locale object.
      • setSelectDefaultMembers

        public void setSelectDefaultMembers​(boolean selectDefaultMembers)
        Behavior setter for a query. By default, if a dimension is placed on an axis but no selections are made, the default hierarchy and the default member will be selected when validating the query. This behavior can be turned off by this setter.
        Parameters:
        selectDefaultMembers - Enables or disables the default member and hierarchy selection upon validation.
      • removeQueryNodeListener

        public void removeQueryNodeListener​(QueryNodeListener l)
