Package 'rolap'

Title: Obtaining Star Databases from Flat Tables
Description: Data in multidimensional systems is obtained from operational systems and is transformed to adapt it to the new structure. Frequently, the operations to be performed aim to transform a flat table into a ROLAP (Relational On-Line Analytical Processing) star database. The main objective of the package is to allow the definition of these transformations easily. The implementation of the multidimensional database obtained can be exported to work with multidimensional analysis tools on spreadsheets or relational databases.

nrow_agg

A string, name of a new measure that represents the COUNT of rows aggregated for each resulting row.

Details

Associated with each measurement there is an aggregation function that can be SUM, MAX or MIN. AVG is not considered among the possible aggregation functions: The reason is that calculating AVG by considering subsets of data does not necessarily yield the AVG of the total data.

An additional measurement corresponding to the COUNT of aggregated rows is added which, together with SUM, allows us to obtain the mean if needed.

Value

A star_schema object.

A string, dimension name.

attribute

A vector, attribute names.

from_layer

A sf object.

by

a vector of correspondence of attributes of the dimension with the sf layer structure.

from_attribute

A vector, attribute names.

Details

The definition can be done in two ways: Associates the instances of the attributes with the instances of a geographic layer or defines it from the geometry of previously defined geographic attributes.

Multiple attributes can be specified in the attribute parameter, the geographical attribute is the combination of all of them.

If defined from a layer (from_layer parameter), additionally the attributes used for the join between the tables (dimension and layer tables) must be indicated (by parameter).

If defined from another attribute, it should have the same or finer granularity, to obtain the result by grouping its instances. The considered attribute can be the pair that defines longitude and latitude.

If other geographic information has previously been associated with that attribute, the new information is considered and previous instances for which no new information is provided are also added.

If the geometry provided is polygons, a point layer is also generated.

Value

A star_database object.

Deploy a star database in a relational database

Description

To deploy the star database, we must indicate a name for the deployment, a connection function and a disconnection function from the database. If it is the first deployment, we must also indicate the name of a local file where the star database will be stored.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'star_database'
deploy(db, name, connect, disconnect = NULL, file = NULL)

Details

If the disconnection function consists only of calling DBI::dbDisconnect(con), there is no need to indicate it, it is taken by default.

As a result, it exports the tables from the star database to the connection database and from now on will keep them updated with each periodic refresh. Additionally, it will also keep a copy of the star database updated on file, which can be used when needed.

Value

A star_database object.

Arguments

name

A string, name of the fact.

measures

A vector of measure names.

agg_functions

A vector of aggregation function names, each one for its corresponding measure. If none is indicated, the default is SUM. Additionally they can be MAX or MIN.

nrow_agg

A string, name of a new measure that represents the COUNT of rows aggregated for each resulting row.

Details

Associated with each measure there is an aggregation function that can be SUM, MAX or MIN. AVG is not considered among the possible aggregation functions: The reason is that calculating AVG by considering subsets of data does not necessarily yield the AVG of the total data.

An additional measure corresponding to the COUNT of aggregated rows is added which, together with SUM, allows us to obtain the AVG if needed.

Value

A fact_schema object.

f <- fact_schema(
  name = "mrs_cause",

Multiple value key

Description

Gets the keys that have multiple values associated with them. The first field in the table is the key, the rest of fields are the values.

Usage

multiple_value_key(tb, col_as_vector = NULL)

Arguments

tb

A tibble.

col_as_vector

A string, name of the column to include a vector of values.

Details

If a name is indicated in the col_as_vector parameter, it includes a column with the data in vector form to be used in other functions.

Value

A tibble.

Examples

tb <- unique(ft[, c('WEEK', 'Week Ending Date')])
mvk <- multiple_value_key(tb)

Import flat table file

Description

Reads a text file and creates a flat_table object. The file is expected to contain a flat table whose first row contains the name of the columns. All columns are considered to be of type String.

Usage

read_flat_table_file(name, file, sep = ",", page = NULL, unknown_value = NULL)

Arguments

name

A string, flat table name.

file

A string, name of a text file.

sep

Column separator character.

page

A string, name of the new field in which to include the name of the file.

unknown_value

A string, value used to replace empty and NA values in attributes.

Details

When multiple files are handled, the file name may contain information associated with the flat table, it could be the table page information if the name of a new field in which to store it is indicated in the page parameter.

We can also indicate the value that is used in the data with undefined values.

Value

A flat_table object.

ft <- read_flat_table_file('mrs_new', file)

Import all flat table files in a folder

Description

Reads all text files in a folder and creates a flat_table object. Each file is expected to contain a flat table, all with the same structure, whose first row contains the name of the columns. All columns are considered to be of type String.

Usage

read_flat_table_folder(
  name,
  folder,
  sep = ",",
  page = NULL,
  unknown_value = NULL,
  same_columns = FALSE,
  snake_case = FALSE
)

Arguments

name

A string, flat table name.

folder

A string, folder name.

sep

Column separator character.

page

A string, name of the new field in which to include the name of the file.

same_columns

A boolean, indicates whether all tables have the same columns in the same order.

snake_case

A boolean, indicates if we want to transform the names of the columns to snake case.

Details

When multiple files are handled, the file name may contain information associated with the flat table, it could be the table page information if the name of a new field in which to store it is indicated.

We can also indicate the value that is used in the data with undefined values.

In some situations all the files have the same structure but the column names may change slightly. In these cases it can be useful to transform the names to snake case or consider for all the files the names of the columns of the first one. These operations can be indicated by the corresponding parameters.

Value

A flat_table object.

Set variables layer

Description

The variables layer includes the names and description through various fields of the variables contained in the reports.

Usage

set_variables(gl, variables, keep_all_variables_na)

## S3 method for class 'geolayer'
set_variables(gl, variables, keep_all_variables_na = FALSE)

Arguments

gl

A geolayer object.

star_database S3 class

Description

A star_database object is created from a star_schema object and a flat table that contains the data from which database instances are derived.

Usage

star_database(schema, instances, unknown_value = NULL)

Arguments

schema

A star_schema object.

instances

A flat table to define the database instances according to the schema.

unknown_value

A string, value used to replace NA values in dimensions.

Details

Measures and measures of the star_schema must correspond to the names of the columns of the flat table.

Since NA values cause problems when doing Join operations between tables, you can indicate the value that will be used to replace them before doing these operations. If none is indicated, a default value is taken.

Value

A star_database object.
