Answer / saptashaw
Star is better for performance.
Snowflake happens when one or more dimension tables in the
Star are normalized. This is done when there is sparsity in
the concerned dimensions.

Answer / satya/gunu(satyabadi)
=>
-Star schema is highly denormalized.
-Snowflake schema is normalized.
=>
-As star schema is denormalized, the size of DWH will be larger than that of Snowflake schema.
=>
-Performance wise, star schema is good.
-But if memory utilization is a major concern,then snow flake schema is better than star schema.
=>.. In addition, Generally in real time, we use Snowflake schema only.
