How the facts will be loaded? explain..

Answer / naveen kumar reddy

LOADING FACTS

The most important thing about loading fact tables is that
first you need to load dimension tables and then according
to the specification the fact tables.

The fact table is often located in the center of a star
schema, surrounded by dimension tables. It has two types of
columns: those containing facts and other containing foreign
keys to dimension tables.

* A typical fact table consists of: Measurements:
additive-measures that can be added across all dimensions ,
non-additive cannot be added and semi-additive can be added
across few dimensions.
* Metrics
* Facts - The fact table has frequently more than one
measurement field and then each field is called a fact.
Usually one fact table has at least three dimension tables.
