Enclosing class:

RolapStar
```
public static class RolapStar.Table
extends Object
```
Definition of a table in a star schema.
A 'table' is defined by a MondrianDef.RelationOrJoin so may, in fact, be a view.
Every table in the star schema except the fact table has a parent table, and a condition which specifies how it is joined to its parent. So the star schema is, in effect, a hierarchy with the fact table at its root.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`addToFrom(SqlQuery query, boolean failIfExists, boolean joinToParent)`	Adds this table to the FROM clause of a query, and also, if `joinToParent`, any join condition.
`boolean`	`containsColumn(String columnName)`	Returns whether this table has a column with the given name.
`boolean`	`containsColumn(RolapStar.Column column)`
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)`
`boolean`	`equalsTableName(String tableName)`
`RolapStar.Table`	`findAncestor(String tableName)`	Returns an ancestor with a given alias, or null if not found.
`RolapStar.Table`	`findChild(MondrianDef.Relation relation, RolapStar.Condition joinCondition)`	Returns a child relation which maps onto a given relation, or null if there is none.
`RolapStar.Table`	`findDescendant(String seekAlias)`	Returns a descendant with a given alias, or null if none found.
`RolapStar.Table`	`findTableWithLeftCondition(MondrianDef.Expression left)`	This is used during aggregate table validation to make sure that the mapping from for the aggregate join condition is valid.

`MondrianDef.Relation`	`getRelation()`
`String`	`getTableName()`	Sometimes one need to get to the "real" name when the table has been given an alias.
`int`	`hashCode()`
`boolean`	`isFunky()`	Note: I do not think that this is ever true.
`RolapStar.Column`	`lookupColumn(String columnName)`
`RolapStar.Column`	`lookupColumnByExpression(MondrianDef.Expression xmlExpr)`	Given a MondrianDef.Expression return a column with that expression or null.
`RolapStar.Column[]`	`lookupColumns(String columnName)`	Returns an array of all columns in this star with a given name.
`RolapStar.Measure`	`lookupMeasureByName(String cubeName, String name)`	Look up a `RolapStar.Measure` by its name.
`void`	`print(PrintWriter pw, String prefix)`	Prints this table and its children.
`String`	`toString()`

- Method Detail
  - getJoinCondition
```
public RolapStar.Condition getJoinCondition()
```
    Returns the condition by which a dimension table is connected to its parent; or null if this is the fact table.
  - getParentTable
```
public RolapStar.Table getParentTable()
```
    Returns this table's parent table, or null if this is the fact table (which is at the center of the star).
  - lookupColumns
```
public RolapStar.Column[] lookupColumns(String columnName)
```
    Returns an array of all columns in this star with a given name.
  - lookupColumn
```
public RolapStar.Column lookupColumn(String columnName)
```
  - lookupColumnByExpression
```
public RolapStar.Column lookupColumnByExpression(MondrianDef.Expression xmlExpr)
```
    Given a MondrianDef.Expression return a column with that expression or null.
  - containsColumn
```
public boolean containsColumn(RolapStar.Column column)
```
  - lookupMeasureByName
```
public RolapStar.Measure lookupMeasureByName(String cubeName,
                                             String name)
```
    Look up a RolapStar.Measure by its name. Returns null if not found.

```
public MondrianDef.Relation getRelation()
```
  - getAlias
```
public String getAlias()
```
  - getTableName
```
public String getTableName()
```
    Sometimes one need to get to the "real" name when the table has been given an alias.
  - findChild
```
public RolapStar.Table findChild(MondrianDef.Relation relation,
                                 RolapStar.Condition joinCondition)
```
    Returns a child relation which maps onto a given relation, or null if there is none.
  - findDescendant
```
public RolapStar.Table findDescendant(String seekAlias)
```
    Returns a descendant with a given alias, or null if none found.
  - findAncestor
```
public RolapStar.Table findAncestor(String tableName)

    Adds this table to the FROM clause of a query, and also, if joinToParent, any join condition.
    
    Parameters:
    
    query - Query to add to
    
    failIfExists - Pass in false if you might have already added the table before and if that happens you want to do nothing.
    
    joinToParent - Pass in true if you are constraining a cell calculation, false if you are retrieving members.

  - findTableWithLeftJoinCondition
```
public RolapStar.Table findTableWithLeftJoinCondition(String columnName)
```
    Finds the child table of the fact table with the given columnName used in its left join condition. This is used by the AggTableManager while characterizing the fact table columns.
  - findTableWithLeftCondition
```
public RolapStar.Table findTableWithLeftCondition(MondrianDef.Expression left)
```
    This is used during aggregate table validation to make sure that the mapping from for the aggregate join condition is valid. It returns the child table with the matching left join condition.
