Data Modelling Of Hierarchies
Oct 31, 2007
i guess really i'm looking for opinions and / or experiences of modelling organisational hierarchies.... anyone?
i'm in the process of creating a logical model (very early stages) of a new datawarehouse. The current OLTP schema stores it as a self referencing key (i.e. parent_group_id). The performance problems involved in aggregating to different levels of the hierarchy causes no end of complaints from customers, as i'm sure you can imagine. So, now we are modelling a datawarehouse for their reporting requirements, i obviously want it to be better
so far i've considered...
1) keeping it as it is
2) allocating a 'node' id and storing the left / right nodes in the hierarchy tree. we've used before when reporting over the OLTP system with report developers building it 'on the fly' as part of their report.
(better explanation than mine... http://www.dbpd.com/vault/9811/kamfn.shtml )
3) an intermediate table storing its 'position' in the hierarchy? not really played with this yet but mr kimball seems to like it
see... http://www.dbmsmag.com/9809d05.html
4) denormalising it completely. i.e. level_1, level_2, level_3, Level4.... for every fact? the advantage of this is that it makes aggregation at any level really easy. the problem is that each of our customers has a different organisation hierarchy, with a different number of levels, and given the OLTP schema there is no limit to the number of levels in a hierarchy
so... thoughts / experiences anyone?

Using SQL 7. I have a table with 2 fields in it that I wish to relateto a lookup table. DDL for table 1:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblPedometerReadings] ([ID] [varchar] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[ReadingDate] [datetime] NULL ,[PedometerReading] [smallint] NULL ,[OtherActivity1] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASNULL ,[OtherActivity1Minutes] [smallint] NULL ,[OtherActivity2] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASNULL ,[OtherActivity2Minutes] [smallint] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]DDL for table 2:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tlkpOtherActivities] ([OtherActivity] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASNOT NULL ,[EquivalentSteps] [smallint] NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]In my database diagram, I want to create a 1-to-many relationshipbetween tblPedometerReadings.OtherActivity1 andtlkpOtherActivities.OtherActivity AND betweentblPedometerReadings.OtherActivity2 andtlkpOtherActivities.OtherActivitiy. I get a long error message whenattempting the relationship between OtherActivity2 and OtherActivity.Is there another schema that would work better?Thanks.

Hey all. I have a query where I am basically querying an organizational chart. The table storing this information is basically a two column table of parent/child pairs. So you might have:
parent | child
1 | 2
2 | 3
2 | 4
3 | 6
3 | 7
4 | 8
5 | 9
8 | 10
8 | 11
Querying this table should return all child columns that flow up to the top, so querying 1 would return 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11.
I used a sample from MSDN (http://www.sqljunkies.com/Article/D7CAED46-CCAC-4FF7-B528-B2E9A274B71C.scuk) that does just this, except that when querying a value that returns more than 1000 records - I am experiencing way too long response times. The MSDN sample uses temp tables and inserts values into a temp table as it moves through the records and finds a match.
Anyone have an ideas on another way to accomplish the same thing? This is an important part of my security model as users that login should only have access to data that falls within their parent/child heirarchy.
Thanks.
Jon

I have an existing MDX query returning the correct resultset. However, I want to add a filter so that for a combination of value in Hierarchy1 and Hierarchy2, the data is filtered out.
For example I have data like
H1 H2 Amount
1 1 100
2 1 50
3 1 45
I am getting a value of 100+50+45=195.
I want to filter the data for the combination H1=3 and H2=1. Expected result would be 100...
H1 H2 Amount
1 1 100
2 1 50

Hello,
For management that doesn't have the software I do, I've been using a PDF postscript utility to print the model and give it to them. However, I have to fit the model for the specific page (which is really small, and you have to zoom in), or you have to view it on multiple pages. Well multiple pages can be a pain, because the table you are looking at is on page 1, but the relationships are on page 12, 22, or 50, for example. So I was looking for a tool that is cheap enough to implement that we could look at the entire model on one "surface" (not necessary to print), that the model could be viewed in.
Thanks,
Brian

hi all,
There might be no upgrade path for our ETL investment. So most of us will be doing redesign and a lot of reverse engineering activity for ETL.
Do any one have a bright Idea to model, diagram or document the exisiting ETL investment.
thanks,

Hi Everyone,
I'm attempting to design a schema for a project I working on. The idea is that I can store a list of documents and associate meta data with them.
The problem is that I don't know what that meta data will be at design time. The user will create the meta data fields in the software. For the first design I just had a table called meta field that contained the meta field defintion, and another table called itemdata that contained the document primary key, the metafield primary key and a value encoded as a varchar. This works fine while the list of documents is small.
Another idea I've thought of is to have seperate tables for all of the metafields. This would allow me to be very specific about the values that can be stored in that column etc. It also turns out that for the kind of queries I'm doing its about 4 times as fast. The only problem is that the software will need to create these tables at run time.
What I would like to know is, is this a really bad idea? If so why?. Also are there any other ways I can store this kind of data?
The kind of queries I am doing are find all the documents where metafield 1 is A and metafield 2 is B and metafield 3 is C and metafield 4 is D etc.
Cheers,
Mark

As promised, question #2... ;)
As I mentioned in my previous post, my "real" case is a cube with 79 dimensions, most of which virtual, have been added for convenience.
Think for instance about a time dimension... Wouldn't it be nice to get a matrix with years horizontally, months vertically and displaying say the number of order you had for each cell in the resulting grid.
Ok, maybe you can do this with MDX but not in Excel, unless you create virtual dimensions for the Year and Month levels.
That's all good, but as it is, in my real case, I end up with four date dimensions for which I have to provide:
YQMD (Year, Quarter, Month & Day) hirarchized dimension
YWD (Year, Week, Day)
YQMD (Fiscal calendar)
Year
Quarter
Month
Week
Day (as 1, .. 31)
Week Day (for periodicity analysis over a week's time)
Date (as individual day - this is the backbone for the virtual dimensions)
It turns out this makes 40 dimensions by itself. For the sake of it, I grouped them by 4 hierarchies, although I've seen no specific functionality off of this in the data browser or Excel, so it really seems to be only for "show".
Now in my previous post I explained how I "spread" my session count to calculate a conversion rate. Given the number of dimensions I have (very high segmentation at the order level, very limited segmentation at the session/visit level), this means my calculated cell formula looks like this (hold your breath, it's ugly):
SubCube: {[Measures].[Session Count]}, DESCENDANTS([Business Unit].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Channel Source].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Currency].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FO Product Segment].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FO Quarter].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FO Value Segment].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Is Cancelled].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Is Customer Care].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Is Design Services].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Is Direct].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Is Estimated].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Is Holiday Order].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Is New].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Is Sales Services].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Language].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Payment].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Product Segment].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Value Segment].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FO Channel].[All]), DESCENDANTS([Reg Channel].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FCD].[Date].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FCD].[Day].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FCD].[Mth].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FCD].[Qtr].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FCD].[Wk].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FCD].[WkDay].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FCD].[Year].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FCD].[Fiscal].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FCD].[YMQD].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FCD].[YWD].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FRD].[Date].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FRD].[Day].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FRD].[Mth].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FRD].[Qtr].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FRD].[Wk].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FRD].[WkDay].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FRD].[Year].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FRD].[Fiscal].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FRD].[YQMD].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FRD].[YWD].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FSD].[Date].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FSD].[Day].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FSD].[Mth].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FSD].[Qtr].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FSD].[Wk].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FSD].[WkDay].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FSD].[Year].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FSD].[Fiscal].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FSD].[YQMD].[All]), DESCENDANTS([FSD].[YWD].[All])
Caculation Value: CalculationPassValue(([Business Unit].[All],[Channel Source].[All],[Currency].[All],[FO Product Segment].[All],[FO Quarter].[All],[FO Value Segment].[All],[Is Cancelled].[All],[Is Customer Care].[All],[Is Design Services].[All],[Is Direct].[All],[Is Estimated].[All],[Is Holiday Order].[All],[Is New].[All],[Is Sales Services].[All],[Language].[All],[Payment].[All],[Product Segment].[All],[Value Segment].[All],[FO Channel].[All],[Reg Channel].[All],[FCD].[Date].[All],[FCD].[Day].[All],[FCD].[Mth].[All],[FCD].[Qtr].[All],[FCD].[Wk].[All],[FCD].[WkDay].[All],[FCD].[Year].[All],[FCD].[Fiscal].[All],[FCD].[YMQD].[All],[FCD].[YWD].[All],[FRD].[Date].[All],[FRD].[Day].[All],[FRD].[Mth].[All],[FRD].[Qtr].[All],[FRD].[Wk].[All],[FRD].[WkDay].[All],[FRD].[Year].[All],[FRD].[Fiscal].[All],[FRD].[YQMD].[All],[FRD].[YWD].[All],[FSD].[Date].[All],[FSD].[Day].[All],[FSD].[Mth].[All],[FSD].[Qtr].[All],[FSD].[Wk].[All],[FSD].[WkDay].[All],[FSD].[Year].[All],[FSD].[Fiscal].[All],[FSD].[YQMD].[All],[FSD].[YWD].[All],[Measures].[Session Count]), 0)
If you read all this, you can see already the cryptic dimension names like "FRD", "FSD" and so forth... that's because with the real names ("First Refund Date", "First Ship Date", the query processor errored out... visibly there is a limit in the size of the formulas you can post!
Is there no other way to achieve this result? Basically I mean to say: if the session count is not defined at your level along this dimension, go to the root of the dimension to get the value there, this along a slew of dimensions, many of which are inherently dependent because of the usage of virtual dimensions (therefore if I wish to go to the root of my "First Refund Date" for instance, I wish to do so along all sub-dimensions... Heck, as far as I'm concerned this is conceptually only ONE dimension, just with various views upon it...
Using hierachies I was sort of hoping for the ability to have something like:
[FRD].[All Hierachies].[All]
Am I just asking for too much or do I just not know (quite probable) the magic keyword that can do this?
Where this is becoming quite critical is that I actually have a calculated cell that goes as follows (abridged):
SubCube: similar as before
Calculation: [Measures].[Order Count]*CalculationPassValue((...set of all un-tied dimension roots..., [Measures].[Distributed Marketing Cost])/CalculationPassValue((...set of all un-tied dimension roots..., [Measures].[Order Count])
Now the purpose of this is to distribute external costs at the order level. In short, say that you know you spent $10,000 globally promoting a specific group of websites in commission money (you pay $1 for each order). This formula allows me to get that a specific website, with 20 orders incurred an additional marketing cost of $20. That's actually the object of my next thread's question (spreading a multiplication through the aggregations)
For the purpose of this thread I am just concerned about the size of my formulas. Renaming the dimensions seemed to "buy" me some margin and I was actually quite surprised to find that the formula still fitted in, and works, but it is only a matter of time until I have to add more dimensions and the whole thing blows up in my face. Adittionally this is obviously not pleasant to look at and maintain.
Any better solution?
Thanks,
Seb

Hi,
Nwebie question:
is it possible to have a fact that will behave diffeerntly as the user
is viewing it from different hierarchies? say i got creatin measures
of a product inventory. i got a location hierarchy, as as user is
'moving up' in it (say,up by city, region, state, country...)i want to
do a sum. but i also got time hierarchy, and as user begins to group
by weeks, months, years... a sum makes no sense..i want LastNonEmpty
or something like that. Is it possible?
thanks!

Hi SQL Server Experts,
Oracle has a 'Connect by prior' extension to SQL that is neat for display hierarchies.
Does SQL Server have anything simialr or would I use T-SQL or ???
I will appreciate any suggestions and advice.

Is there a good approach to modelling many heterogeneous entity typeswith that have some attributes in common?Say I have entities "employees" which share some attibutes (e.g.firstname, lastname, dateofbirth) but some subsets of employees (e.g.physicians, janitors, nurses, ambulance drivers) may have additionalattributes that do not apply to all employees. Physicians may haveattributes specialty and date of board certification, ambulancedrivers may have a drivers license id, janitors may havepreferredbroomtype and so on.There are many employee subtypes and more can be dynamically addedafter the application is deployed so it's obviously no good to keepadding attributes to the employees table because most attributes willbe NULL (since janitors are never doctors at the same time).The only solution I found for this is a generalization hiearchy whereyou have the employee table with all generic attributes and then youadd tables for each new employee subtype as necessary. The subtypetables share the primary key of the employee table. The employee tablehas a "discriminator" field that allows you to figure out whichsubtype table to load for a particular entity.This solution does not seem to scale since for each value of"discriminator" I need to perform a join with a different table. Whatif I need to retrieve 1,000 employees at once?Is that possible to obtain a single ResultSet with one SQL statementSQL?Or do you I need to iterate look at the discriminator and thenperform the appropriate join? If this kind of iteration is necessarythen obviously this generalization hierarchy approach does not work inpracticesince it would be painfully slow.Is there a better approach to modelling these kind of heterogeneousentities with shared attributes that does not involve creating a tablefor each new employee type or having sparce tables (mostly filled withNULLS)I guess another approach would be to use name/value pairs but thatwould make reporting really ugly.Seems like a very common problem. Any ideas? Is this a fundamentallimitation of SQL?Thanks!- robert

I have a date dimension and Fiscal Year is a Hierarchy in it, like April, August and October for different fiscal years. I need to populate this in a report (SSRS) in a combo box so that the user can pick the fiscal year he/she wants. When done, I want to know what is the Fiscal year start month is, like April for April Fiscal year etc.
How do I achieve this? Is it even possible?

I want to be able to implement infinite levels of Hierarchies in SQL Server (2012), in addition to being able to address issues like same child having more than one parent (eg. An Employee could end up having 2 different managers - eg. Project Manager, Delivery Manager).
One way is to have self referencing table (where each row has a parent id , referencing to a parent record - but this would not work in cases where a child has more than 1 parent).
Are there other more efficient ways? What is the best way to implement this?

I am currently looking at the capabilities in SSIS from the point of view of an ETL developer who has worked with other products eg. Informatica, Cognos DecisionStream and one of things I note is a lack of support for dimensional hierarchies.
It appears that MS have assumed that SSIS users will automatically use SSAS.
We use Hyperion Essbase. Other sites have Cognos or Business Objects for their OLAP/BI.
I would like to be able build multi-level dimension hierarchies directly from within SSIS.
Has MS considered this for future versions?

I've built a robust looking Calendar dimension but that's easy because its all so well structured. Every date belongs to a particular week and every week belongs to a particular month and every month belongs to a particular quarter etc. January 1st is always going to be a member of week 1, month 1, quarter 1.But here's the rub, real life isn't as predictable and stable as a calendar.
Lets say you have an table containing personal information. You might have gender and marital status in there and even though they both relate to one person, they're unrelated to each other so how do you put those in a hierarchy? Which one goes first and which second because you can get combinations of either.

Hi,
I am currently trying to develop an application which would help in retrieving data from cubes (Microsoft Analysis Services)! The user would not be accessing the Business Intelligence Studio, etc. but would be viewing the data from a custom made application developed in VB.Net2005.
While implementing this, I want to populate the drop-down-list in the VB(.Net) Form, by retrieving the various hierarchies in the dimensions of the cubes (along with dimensions if possible). This should be done dynamically and in real-time!
Can you please help in implementing this? Any code/method, etc would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes!

Good day all
I am unable to crosstab different alternate hierarchies of an MSAS cube from a single dimension, I'm using Cognos Powerplay (7.3 web and client) to browse the data. v 7.1 displays the same behaviour.
When I try to create the crosstab the display replaces both rows and columns to the alternate path, it overwrites the original path. Can anyone tell me if this is a Cognos issue or an Analysis services one and if there is any way around it. The only solution I have at the moment is to bodge it by creating seperate dimensions for each alternate hierarchy however this is ugly and difficult to use.
Regards
Mike

I am stuck in a situation where I want to use YTD for three different calendars of our company and don't want to create three different YTD calculations. However I want to make this work for any measure not for a particular measure
If I create one YTD and try to use in context of three calendars in SCOPE statements then it does not give my right results. Following is my syntax but It does not work.
SCOPE([Billing Date].[SalesCalendar].MEMBERS);
( [Aggregate].[AGGREGATE CODE].[YTD] )
= Aggregate({[Aggregate].[AGGREGATE CODE].DefaultMember}*{PERIODSTODATE([Billing Date].[SalesCalendar].[Sales Calendar Year],[Billing Date].[SalesCalendar].CURRENTMEMBER) } );
[Code] ....
However if I comment on one of SCOPE statement , other one works but both don't work simultaneously in context of different calendars.

Cannot we Cross joins across user defined hierarchies ,or they aren't supported .?Coz I really need to implement as above MDx within my real Cube.I try to implement by making as another Hierarchy Member but it doesn’t gives the value result as what we want/need.with
member [Customer].[Country].[United States ]as [Customer].[Customer Geography].[Country].&[United States]
select {

After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.

I have used both data readers and data adapters(with datasets) in the projects that I have worked on. I am trying to get some clarification on when I should be using which one. I think I am doing this correctly but I want to be sure I am developing good habits.
As the name might suggest, it seems like a datareader is for only reading data. I have read that the data adapter and dataset are for a disconnected architecture. Or, that they can be used for this type of set up. I have been using the data adapter and datasets when writing to a database and the datareader when reading from a database.
Is this how these should be used? Is the data reader the best choice for reading data? Am I doing this the optimal way from a performance stand point?

I have a requirement to implement CDC for 50+ tables to implement incremental data changes warehouse/reporting rather than exporting the whole table data. The largest table is having more than half a billion records.
The warehouse use a daily copy of OLTP db (daily DB refresh). How can I accomplish this. Is there a downside in implementing CDC just for the sake of taking incremental changes on the tables?
Is there any performance impact if we enable CDC on OLTP db?
Can we make use of the CDC tables on the environment we do daily db refresh so that the queries don't hit OLTP database?
What is the best way to implement CDC to take incremental changes for reporting.
