Explain why fact table is in normal form?..

Answer / Sandeep Chauhan

Fact tables are designed to be in third normal form (3NF) or higher, to ensure data integrity and reduce redundancy. In 3NF, each non-key attribute depends on the primary key only, eliminating transitive dependencies. This helps prevent update anomalies and allows for easier data manipulation.
