what is dimension table?

Answer Posted / shyam shah

A dimension table is a table in a star or snowflake schema
that stores attributes that describe aspects of a dimension.
For example, a time table stores the various aspects of time
such as year, quarter, month, and day. A foreign key of a
fact table references the primary key in a dimension table
in a many-to-one relationship.
