OBIEE supports JDBC as a connection protocol, using the driver available on all installations of OBIEE, bijdbc.jar. This makes connecting to OBIEE from custom or third-party applications very easy. Once connected, you issue “Logical SQL” against the “tables” of the Presentation Layer. An example of logical SQL is: SELECT "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" saw_0 FROM "A - Sample Sales" To find more Logical SQL simply inspect your nqquery.log (obis-query.log in 12c), or Usage Tracking.
