Also, fact tables may be aggregated, whereas Dimension tables are not aggregated. Another reason is that fact tables are not supposed to be updated in place whereas Dimension tables could be updated in place in some cases. More details: Fact and dimension tables appear in a what is commonly ...
没有发生的事实表(Factless Fact Tables)# 正常情况下,我们会按实际发生的业务事件来建模,比如有实际购买行为的促销商品记录。其数据模型设计如下: 但这种方式的数据模型,但该事实模型无法回答哪一个促销商品在指定日期没有被购买的记录。因为没有被购买,就没有零售记录发生,数据库中根本就没有信息,也就无从统计。
由一个fact table以及多个dimension table组成 fact table:由事实和dimension table 的FK组成,在star schema 的形式下dimension table里不允许再出现FK 2.Snowflake Schema: 由一个fact table 以及多个dimension table组成 此时与star schema最大的区别就在于对于dimension table下可以存放字结构的FK,被连接的dimension t...
这种字段我们依然会存放到事实表中,作为一个维度,但它不像产品id一样,有一个标准的维度表,我们称这种情叫退化维度。 没有发生的事实表(Factless Fact Tables)# 正常情况下,我们会按实际发生的业务事件来建模,比如有实际购买行为的促销商品记录。其数据模型设计如下: 但这种方式的数据模型,但该事实模型无法回答哪一...
Is it true that facts in a fact table of a data warehouse always have a relation to time? I.e. is it true that a fact must always be assignable to a specific point in time? If this is correct, can we conclude that dimension elements (except for maybe a time-dimension) ...
Figure 1. Data Warehouse details The data warehouse contains two data areas: The Operational Data Store (ODS), which stores operational data The Metrics tables, which store data in related fact tables and dimension tables Operational data store (ODS) The operational data area...

Store Layer in a Data Warehouse The store layer represents the denormalized data warehouse that is described further throughout this blog post. While there are several design models, the Kimball approach is a leading design through which information is organized into dimension and fact tables and jo...
A data warehouse includes plurality of master data tables, a plurality of dimension tables and a fact table. The master data tables including surrogate identifiers. The dimension tables use the surrogate identifiers to link to the master data table domains within the master data tables. The fact ...
