CREATE CUBE

Synopsis

CREATE CUBE [ IF NOT EXISTS ]
cube_name ON table_name WITH (
   AGGREGATIONS = ( expression [, ...] ), GROUP = ( column_name [, ...] )
   [, ( property_name = expression [, ...] ) ] 
)

Description

Create a new, empty star-tree cube with the specified group and aggregations. Use insert-into-cube to insert data.

The optional IF NOT EXISTS clause causes the error to be suppressed if the table already exists.

The optional property_name section can be used to set properties on the newly created cube. To list all available table properties, run the following query:

SELECT * FROM system.metadata.table_properties

Examples

Create a new cube orders_cube on orders:

CREATE CUBE orders_cube ON orders WITH (
  AGGREGATIONS = ( SUM(totalprice), AVG(totalprice) ),
  GROUP = ( orderstatus, orderdate ),
  format = 'ORC'
)

Create a new partitioned cube orders_cube:

CREATE CUBE orders_cube ON orders WITH (
  AGGREGATIONS = ( SUM(totalprice), AVG(totalprice) ),
  GROUP = ( orderstatus, orderdate ),
  format = 'ORC',
  partitioned_by = ARRAY['orderdate']
)

Limitations

Supported aggregate functions: COUNT, COUNT DISTINCT, MIN, MAX, SUM, AVG
Only one group is supported per Cube.
Different connector might support different data type, and different table/column properties.
Can currently only create cubes in Hive connector, but the cubes can be created on a table from another connector.
