Oracle学习之数据仓库（二）Dimension的理解

   在数据仓库中，有事实表、维度表两个概念。

员工经过长期磨合与沉淀，具备了协作精神，得以通过团队的力量开发出优质的产品。创新互联坚持“专注、创新、易用”的产品理念，因为“专注所以专业、创新互联网站所以易用所以简单”。公司专注于为企业提供成都网站建设、成都网站设计、微信公众号开发、电商网站开发，微信小程序定制开发，软件按需网站建设等一站式互联网企业服务。

   事实表是数据仓库结构中的中央表，它包含联系事实与维度表的数字度量值和键。事实数据表包含描述业务（例如产品销售）内特定事件的数据。

   维度表是维度属性的集合。是分析问题的一个窗口。是人们观察数据的特定角度，是考虑问题时的一类属性，属性的集合构成一个维。

   如图示

我们以sh用户下的sales表和times表来看，

SALES为事实表

如果我们创建一个物化视图

create materialized view sales_month_sum 
enable query rewrite as 
  SELECT t.calendar_month_id,
         prod_id,
         channel_id,
         promo_id,
         SUM (quantity_sold) quantity_sold,
         SUM (amount_sold) amount_sold
    FROM sales s, times t
   WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id
GROUP BY prod_id,
         channel_id,
         promo_id,
         t.calendar_month_id;

如果我们做如下按月的分组查询

SQL> alter session set query_rewrite_enabled=true;
SQL> alter session set query_rewrite_integrity=trusted;
SQL> set autotrace traceonly
SQL> set line 200
SQL>   SELECT t.calendar_month_id,
         prod_id,
         channel_id,
         promo_id,
         SUM (quantity_sold) quantity_sold,
         SUM (amount_sold) amount_sold
    FROM sales s, times t
   WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id
GROUP BY prod_id,
         channel_id,
         promo_id,
         t.calendar_month_id; 

9068 rows selected.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

可见查询使用的是物化视图，但是如果我需要按年、季度对数据做分组查询呢？

  SELECT t.calendar_quarter_id,prod_id,
         channel_id,
         promo_id,
         SUM (quantity_sold) quantity_sold,
         SUM (amount_sold) amount_sold
    FROM sales s, times t
   WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id
GROUP BY prod_id,
         channel_id,
         promo_id,
         t.calendar_quarter_id;

这个查看肯定是不能使用物化视图的，执行计划如下

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oracle为了是查询重写更加的智能，引入了Dimension的概念。Dimension我们称之为维，它是基于维度表的，用来描述维度表的维度之间的层级关系。

CREATE DIMENSION SH.TIMES_DIM
  LEVEL DAY                            IS 
    (SH.TIMES.TIME_ID)
  LEVEL MONTH                          IS 
    (SH.TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_ID)
  LEVEL QUARTER                        IS 
    (SH.TIMES.CALENDAR_QUARTER_ID)
  LEVEL YEAR                           IS 
    (SH.TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR_ID)
  HIERARCHY CAL_ROLLUP
    (DAY                               CHILD OF
     MONTH                             CHILD OF
     QUARTER                           CHILD OF
     YEAR);

LEVEL定义等级，基于维度表，HIERARCHY关键字定义层级关系。由层级关系，我们知道quarter是由month组成的。

我们再次查询

SQL> SELECT t.calendar_quarter_id,prod_id,
         channel_id,
         promo_id,
         SUM (quantity_sold) quantity_sold,
         SUM (amount_sold) amount_sold
    FROM sales s, times t
   WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id
GROUP BY prod_id,
         channel_id, 
         promo_id,
         t.calendar_quarter_id;

3375 rows selected.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

这次是使用物化视图与times表做关联，性能更高了。

我们对比如下两个查询

SQL>   SELECT t.calendar_quarter_id,
         prod_id,
         channel_id,
         promo_id,
         SUM (quantity_sold) quantity_sold,
         SUM (amount_sold) amount_sold
    FROM sales s, times t
   WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id AND t.calendar_quarter_id = 1769
GROUP BY prod_id,
         channel_id,
         promo_id,
         t.calendar_quarter_id; 

168 rows selected.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

没有使用物化视图。

其实条件实质上是一样的，因为t.calendar_quarter_desc = '1998-01' 和t.calendar_quarter_id = 1769 在times表中表示相同的数据。

但是Oracle不知道CALENDAR_QUARTER_DESC与CALENDAR_QUARTER_ID的关系。

我们在创建Dimension时，可以为LEVEL指定属性值。

如下

CREATE DIMENSION SH.TIMES_DIM
  LEVEL DAY                            IS 
    (SH.TIMES.TIME_ID)
  LEVEL MONTH                          IS 
    (SH.TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_ID)
  LEVEL QUARTER                        IS 
    (SH.TIMES.CALENDAR_QUARTER_ID)
  LEVEL YEAR                           IS 
    (SH.TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR_ID)
  HIERARCHY CAL_ROLLUP
    (DAY                               CHILD OF
     MONTH                             CHILD OF
     QUARTER                           CHILD OF
     YEAR)
  ATTRIBUTE QUARTER DETERMINES 
    (SH.TIMES.CALENDAR_QUARTER_DESC,
     SH.TIMES.DAYS_IN_CAL_QUARTER,
     SH.TIMES.END_OF_CAL_QUARTER,
     SH.TIMES.CALENDAR_QUARTER_NUMBER)
  ATTRIBUTE YEAR DETERMINES 
    (SH.TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR,
     SH.TIMES.DAYS_IN_CAL_YEAR,
     SH.TIMES.END_OF_CAL_YEAR);

我们再次查询

SQL> SELECT t.calendar_quarter_id,
         prod_id,
         channel_id,
         promo_id,
         SUM (quantity_sold) quantity_sold,
         SUM (amount_sold) amount_sold
    FROM sales s, times t
   WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id AND t.calendar_quarter_desc = '1998-01'
GROUP BY prod_id,
