[Mondrian] Forcing "expr direction NULLS LAST" in order by without rebuild?

Hi Luc, thanks.
I've tried building my own extension of JdbcDialectImpl and placed the jar in the lib directory of the mondrian webapp.
My class actually only implements this method:

@Override
        public String generateOrderByNulls(
            String expr,
            boolean ascending,
            boolean collateNullsLast)
        {
            LOGGER.info("Generating Order By expression");
            return generateOrderByNullsAnsi(expr, ascending, collateNullsLast);
        }

But still no luck. The 'Dialect' property in the connection string seems to be ignored. 
I wonder if I'm using the right version of the code (I'm on 3.6.1).

Any ideas?

Regards,

JB.

The Oracle dialect has checks in place to validate that it talks to an Oracle DB, so it might fallback to JdbcDialectImpl. If you turn on debugging output in log4j, you'll see which dialect is chosen.


Try creating your own class and then pass it with the Dialect property, making sure it is present in your classpath. I think that should work.

Thanks! That sounds great but I cannot make it work :(
Is this on 3.6.1 ?
I've been trying to set the dialect to the Oracle one as it seems to use the group by notation that I need.
That's what my connection string looks like:



Provider=mondrian;Jdbc=jdbc:<mydb>;JdbcUser=<myuser>;JdbcPassword=<pwd>;Dialect=mondrian.spi.impl.OracleDialect;JdbcDrivers=<mydriver>;Catalog=/WEB-INF/queries/mycat.xml

But I see no difference, still generating the default SQL with the CASE expressions in the ORDER BY.


Am I missing something?

Regards,

JB.
