Oversimplifying it, it can be said that dimensional modeling requires all business processes to be known and driving the data from there and relational modeling requires all business data to be known and then d
ER modeling does not really model a business; rather, it models the micro relationships among data elements. ER modeling does not have “business rules,” it has “data rules.” Few if any global design requirements in the ER modeling methodology speak to the completeness of the overall design...
To do this, three key components are required, including the introduction of independent object-relative dimensional metrics, a zero-dimensional frame of reference, and application of Euclidean geometry for modeling. Procedures separate planes of matter, extensions of space (relational distance) and ...
This method of presenting the data as ‘measures’ and ‘dimensions’ is called Dimensional Modeling.The right side of the diagram shows the elements that are included in the current query. In this case, to request “Sales Amount and Quota by Product Category,” the user defined the query ...
Names vs. Keys: Looking at the relational database, it might not be immediately obvious that EmployeeID is a meaningless, unique, system generated key. The UDM, however, allows the Employee attribute to have both a key (the unique EmployeeID), and a name (in this case, a concatenation ...
2. INSIGHT MODELING 2.1 Data Model Multi-dimensional data conceptually is organized in a tabular format that consists of a set of records, and each record is represented by a set of attributes (columns in the table). Table 1 shows some sample data from a multi- dimensional dataset about ...

Names vs. Keys: Looking at the relational database, it might not be apparent that EmployeeID is a meaningless, unique, system-generated key. The UDM resolves this issue by letting the Employee attribute have both a key (the unique EmployeeID), and a name (for example, a concatenation of...
“data record” refers to a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system. The structure is achieved by organizing the data according to a database model. The model in most common use today is the relational model. Other models such as the hierarchical model ...
A relational database management system (RDBMS) for servicing query statements through one or more client machines. The RDBMS comprises a query interface adapted to receive query st
