Can I query a Data Source directly?
Question
Does anyone know of a way to query data straight out of a Data Source from a calculation logic instead of setting up a Datamart + Data Load for it?
I found that I can use the search API to find the DS, but it contains no actual data, only the structure:
api.find("DMDS", Filter.equal("uniqueName", "DSNAME"))
Answer
You need to use DatamartContext.getDataSource(String name)
.
def dmCtx = api.getDatamartContext()
def salesDS = dmCtx.getDataSource("SalesHistory2")
def dsQuery = dmCtx.newQuery(salesDS)
def filters = [
Filter.equal("Sku", api.product("sku")),
]
dsQuery.select("SUM(Revenue)", "revenue")
dsQuery.select("SUM(UnitsSold)", "unitsSold")
dsQuery.select("YearMonth", "month")
dsQuery.where(filters)
def result = dmCtx.executeQuery(dsQuery)
