Interface DataSelection

All Superinterfaces:

public interface DataSelection
extends BusinessModel, BusinessQuery

Specifies an object that is a business model and that provides the specification of a business query.

 Sample code to run a query after a DataSelection has been created
 based upon an InformationMap

 // a few imports
 import com.sas.iquery.intelligentquery.QueryConnectionInterface;
 import com.sas.iquery.dataretrieval.QueryConnector;
 import com.sas.iquery.execution2.ResultSetInterface
 import com.sas.iquery.metadata.business.DataSelectionFactory
 import com.sas.iquery.metadata.business.DataSelection

 // Create the data selection object based upon another business model (info map)
 InformationMap infoMap = ... // assuming already available in this code snippet
 DataSelection dataSelection = DataSelectionFactory.newDataSelection(infoMap);

 // Add the maps data items to the list result item list in the data selection
 List dataItems = infoMap.getObjects(false, DataItem.class);
 dataSelection.addResultItems(dataItems, Role.COLUMN);

 // Create the query connector
 QueryConnectionInterface  queryConnector = new QueryConnector();
 java.util.List  selections = new java.util.ArrayList();   // pass in the selections as a list
 selections.add( dataSelection );

 java.util.Map results = queryConnector.retrieveQueryResultMap( selections );   // get a map of the results

 // Get ResultSet we're interested in
 ResultSetInterface resultset = (ResultSetInterface)results.get( dataSelection.getID( ) );
