"A dimension table is wide but the fact table is deep," explain the statement in your own ..

Answer / Akshay Vivek

The statement 'A dimension table is wide but the fact table is deep' means that a dimension table tends to have many columns (wide) representing attributes or characteristics of the entities, while a fact table tends to have many rows (deep) recording the measurements or facts about those entities. In other words, dimensions provide context to the facts recorded in the fact table.
