Method Detail

setName

void setName(String newName)

Sets the name of this named set.

getType

Type getType()

Returns the type of this named set.

getExp

Exp getExp()

Returns the expression used to derive this named set.

validate

NamedSet validate(Validator validator)

getNameUniqueWithinQuery

String getNameUniqueWithinQuery()

Returns a name for this set that is unique within the query.

This is necessary when there are several 'AS' expressions, or an 'AS' expression overrides a named set defined using 'WITH MEMBER' clause or against a cube.

isDynamic

boolean isDynamic()

Returns whether this named set is dynamic.

Evaluation rules:

• A dynamic set is evaluated each time it is used, and inherits the context in which it is evaluated.
• A static set is evaluated only on first use, in the base context of the cube.

Returns:

Whether this named set is dynamic
