Making Queries Using Source Methods

Many queries are made by calling a Source method on a Source object to create new Source objects. Source methods are introduced in "Creating New Source Objects Using Source Methods" and documented in detail in the OLAP API Javadoc. This chapter discusses how to make queries using these methods.

This chapter includes the following topics:

• Selecting Based on Source Value
• Selecting Based on Output Values
• Selecting Values Based on Rank
• Selecting Values Based on Hierarchical Position
• Creating a Source that is a Self-Relation
• Performing Numerical Analysis
• Manipulating String Values
