Interface MdxParser

    • Method Detail

      • parseSelect

        SelectNode parseSelect​(java.lang.String mdx)
        Parses an MDX Select statement and returns the SelectNode at the root of the parse tree.

        In order to be parsed successfully, the expression must be syntactically correct but does not need to be valid. (Syntactic correctness and validity are described further in the description of parseExpression(String).)

        Parameters:
        mdx - MDX query string
        Returns:
        Parse tree
      • parseExpression

        ParseTreeNode parseExpression​(java.lang.String mdx)
        Parses an MDX expression and returns a parse tree.

        An expression is a combination of operators and operands, which can occur in many places inside an MDX query, such as the definition of a calculated member or an axis.

        In order to be parsed successfully, the expression must be syntactically correct but does not need to be valid. For example,

        (1 + (2 + 3)
        is syntactically incorrect, because there are more open parentheses "(" than close parentheses ")", and the parser will give an error. Conversely,
        (1 + [Measures].[Bad Measure])
        is syntactically correct, and the parser will successfully create a parse tree, even if [Measures].[Bad Measure] does not exist.
        Parameters:
        mdx - MDX expression
        Returns:
        Parse tree
