Hi all, One of our requirements is to generate sample values of measures and dimensions so that users can get a feel of the result _before_ they submit a query.
Could we get this data from result sets? From the cube rewriter module we can figure which columns will be present in the result set, excluding projected columns. Once query is finished, **result formatter* *in Lens goes through the entire result set to format data properly. We can piggyback on this process and generate samples of the queried columns. An advantage of this approach is that we don't need separate scans of data just to generate samples. A limitation is that this data would become available only after few queries have run. Thoughts? Thanks, - Jaideep Dhok -- _____________________________________________________________ The information contained in this communication is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and others authorized to receive it.
