Answer Posted / srinu
1.Confirmed Dimension-
The dimensions which is used more than one fact table is
called conformed dimensions.
Ex-Product Dimension related to Order fact, Sles fact,,,,.
2.Junk Dimension-
A "junk" dimension is a collection of random transactional
codes, flags and/or text attributes that are unrelated to
any particular dimension.
A good example would be a trade fact in a company that
brokers equity trades.
fact would contain several metrics (principal amount,net
amount, price per share, commission, margin amount, etc.)
and would be related to several dimensions such as account,
date, rep, office, exchange, etc.
3.Degenerated Dimension-
In a data warehouse, a degenerate dimension is a dimension
which is derived from the fact table and doesn't have its
own dimension table.
ex-line no in a Facttable,,,,
4.Slowly changing Dimensions-
A Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD)is a dimension that
changes over time.It may change immediately and it may also
change quite rapidly.
ex-nothing but Inserts,updates,,,,
