SAS Query Services

SAS Intelligent Query Services provides an API that enables an application to present information in business terms rather than database schema terms and to create queries to retrieve the underlying physical data.

Description

Packages

com.sas.iquery	Provides an API that enables an application to present information in business terms rather than database schema terms and to create queries to retrieve the underlying physical data.
com.sas.iquery.dataretrieval	Provides entry points that are used to retrieve result data by executing queries (data selections).
com.sas.iquery.dataretrieval.convenience.olap	Provides utility classes that are used to manipulate OLAP results.
com.sas.iquery.dataservices	Provides utility classes and methods that are used to read information maps and retrieve filter values.
com.sas.iquery.execution2	Provides interfaces and exceptions that are related to SAS Query Services query execution.
com.sas.iquery.generation2	Provides interfaces and exceptions that are related to SAS Query Services query generation.
com.sas.iquery.metadata	Top-level package for SAS Query Services's three models, the business model, physical model, and expression model, which are all used in defining information maps and data selections.
com.sas.iquery.metadata.business	The main package that provides modeling for SAS Query Services's two business models (information maps and data selections), which provide a logical layer of metadata modeling above the physical layer model.
com.sas.iquery.metadata.business.step	Provides a set of modeled "step" operations that can be applied, in a particular order, to data items and business queries to modify the results of a query.
com.sas.iquery.metadata.business.step.olap	Provides a set of modeled "step" operations that can be applied, in a particular order, to OLAP data items and business queries in order to filter the data that gets returned when business queries are executed.
com.sas.iquery.metadata.business.step.relational	Provides a set of modeled "step" operations that can be applied, in a particular order, to relational data items in order to filter the data that gets returned when business queries are executed.
com.sas.iquery.metadata.expr	Provides classes that are used to model expressions, which are used to compose data items and filters.
com.sas.iquery.metadata.expr.olap	Provides classes used to define OLAP expressions usable within a business model for defining portions of an OLAP business query.
com.sas.iquery.metadata.expr.relational	Provides classes that are used to model relational database expressions which are typically used when defining the expression portion of filters.
com.sas.iquery.metadata.serverprop	Provides specific information (via a ServerProperties object) about the capabilities of the server, such as operators and recognized functions.
com.sas.iquery.metadata.serverprop.formats	Server properties classes that describe SAS formats.
com.sas.iquery.util	Utility classes that SAS Query Services makes available for use with its models.

SAS Intelligent Query Services provides an API that enables an application to present information in business terms rather than database schema terms and to create queries to retrieve the underlying physical data.

IQ Services provides two main components: one for defining and persisting query models based upon metadata describing the physical data to be accessed and one component for executing those queries.
