olap4r

olap4r is a Ruby wrapper for olap4j library. It was open-sourced as a part of data visualization and reporting tool - Rubbi.

Examples

Create connection:

connection = Olap::Connection.new "jdbc:mondrian:JdbcDrivers=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver;Jdbc=jdbc:mysql://localhost/mondrian_foodmart?user=root;Catalog=file:spec/fixtures/FoodMart.xml;"

Execute queries:

results = connection.execute "SELECT [Measures].[Unit Sales] ON COLUMNS, [Store] ON ROWS FROM [Sales]"
puts results
# => [["266,773"]]

Build a query:

query_builder.select(:columns, "[Store].[All Stores]", "[Store].[All Stores].CHILDREN").
  select(:rows, "[Measures].[Unit Sales]", "[Measures].[Sales Count]").
  from("[Sales]").
  where("[Store Type].[All Store Types].[Supermarket]")
query_builder.to_s.should == "SELECT HIERARCHIZE(UNION([Store].[All Stores], [Store].[All Stores].CHILDREN)) ON COLUMNS, { [Measures].[Unit Sales], [Measures].[Sales Count] } ON ROWS FROM [Sales] WHERE ( [Store Type].[All Store Types].[Supermarket] )"

Releasing new version

Install required development toolset:

bundle install

Write tests, write code. If you're ready to release a new version first commit your changes, then run:

rake version:bump:patch

Release it (make sure that you are using JRuby).

rake release

To pull new gem into application switch to the same exact Ruby and gemset that you're using in your application, ie. if you're using rvm jruby@myapp for your app then use it to install this gem too.

bundle install
rake install

Switch to your application and run:

bundle update olap4r

Testing

Configure spec/config.yml using your JDBC / XML/A details (you'll find example in spec/config.yml.example):

mondrian:
  jdbc_driver_path: "/usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.6//libexec/common/endorsed/mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin"
  connection_string: "jdbc:mondrian:JdbcDrivers=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver;Jdbc=jdbc:mysql://localhost/mondrian_foodmart?user=root;Catalog=file:spec/fixtures/FoodMart.xml;"

xmla:
  connection_string: "jdbc:xmla:Server=http://127.0.0.1:8080/mondrian/xmla;Catalog=FoodMart;"

jdbc_driver_path is a path to the JAR file which you need as specified in the mondrian connection_string.
