Good morning,
I’m a ruby on rails newby and trying to figure out how I can execute a
star
schema query like this.
select generators.Unit,
thedates.weekday_name,
hours.thehour,
sum(generatorfacts.revenue)
from
generatorfacts,
generators,
thedates,
hours
where
generatorfacts.hour_id = hours.id and
generatorfacts.thedate_id = thedates.id and
generatorfacts.generator_id = generators.id and
thedates.weekday_name = ‘Monday’
group by generators.Unit,thedates.weekday_name,hours.thehour
having sum(generatorfacts.rtrevenue) > 0
This is a standard data warehouse type, star schema query.
I’ve been reading and trying things in script console but I’m hoping
someone
out there can give me a head start.
I’m as far using has_many :through, and belongs_to in my models. I’ve
also
heard that someone named Ken Kunz is developing an acts_as_fact plugin
which
may be just what I need. Can anybody walk me through how I would
approach
this?
Regards,
Anthony
