Similarly to the fact table, in the star schema data model, each dimension table is connected to the fact table through a foreign key. This relationship allows the fact table to be analyzed by different dimensions. For example, in a sales data model, the fact table could be analyzed by th...
Structure: The schema resembles a snowflake shape due to the additional level of normalization in the dimension tables, where each dimension can be split into multiple related tables. Example (Sales Data, Normalized): Fact Table: Sales Columns: Sale_ID, Product_ID, Customer_ID, Date_ID, Amo...
2. STAR SCHEMA AND STAR JOIN Because databases have grown substantially over the years, queries must operate over huge amounts of data. For example, in a data warehouse environment, decision-support queries might need to operate over 1 to 10 terabytes of data, performing multiple joins and ...
Star schema relevance to Power BI semantic models Measures Show 8 more This article targets Power BI Desktop data modelers. It describes star schema design and its relevance to developing Power BI semantic models optimized for performance and usability. Important Power BI semantic models depend on...

With a star schema, analysts can buildqueriesthat filter and group (slice and dice) the data by one or more dimensions and then aggregate the results at different levels of granularity. For example, a data analyst might build a query to answer questions such as "What were the total number...
To practice creating a star schema data model from scratch, we first reviewed some data model concepts and attested that the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) has the capacity for data modeling. Then, we created a database through the SSMS, and this allowed us to produce concep...
1) Example of Star Schema Data Modelling It’s called a Star because its physical model is shaped like a Star, with a Fact Table in the center and Dimension Tables on the periphery symbolizing the star’s points. Here’s an example of the Star Schema in action: 2) What are Fact Tabl...
Star schema stores redundant data in dimension tables, while snowflake schema fully normalizes dimension tables and avoids data redundancy. For example, a star schema would repeat the values in field customer_address_country for each order from the same country. The redundancy, or duplicated entri...
This dynamic, adaptable system depicts a data vault schema in action. Now, picture a gourmet restaurant with a fixed menu—the food is great, but changing the menu takes time and effort. This efficient yet rigid system illustrates traditional data warehouse architecture like the star and snow...
