Contents
<advise> is used within the
<segmentation> tag to establish a relationship between the segmentation
of two columns.Example
<segmentation cols="col1,col2" [advise="0"]> <advise [sort="1"] cols="col1,col3"/> </segmentation>
The <segmentation> block can contain an arbitrary number of
<advise> tags. Each advise tag indicates that a particular sequence of
columns is also sortseg or segby, given the segmentation enforced in the
<segmentation> tag’s cols attribute. For example, if
you have your table segby "day", then it is probably also segby
"month". If for some reason you want to enforce segmentation by a
particular column (or columns), but not to include it in the list of advised columns the
"advise=0" attribute may be included in the
<segmentation> tag.
