A fact-less fact is a fact table in which only primary keys
of the dimension tables are present as foreign keys but no
measure/fact columns.
There are 2 types of factless fact table:
a) Event Tracking Tables: A table that records an event.
Example: A table that records student attendance. It
contains date_key, student_key, teacher_key, course_key,
without any measure section.
b) Coverage Tables: A table to answer questions about
things that didn't happen.
Example: An ordinary fact table cannot answer questions
like "Which products were on promotion that did not sell?",
because it contains only the records of products that did
sell. A table contains date_key, product_key, store_key,
promo_key and without measure section is used to answer
such questions.

I have 1.6 years of experience in cognos in India. I always
wanted to do a MS program to earn some money in US. But I
think I am little late in taking the decision. As If I have
to write my GRE it will be August or September of 2012 and
will have to apply for fall 2013 as fall 2012 admissions are
almost done now.
So my concern is how will be my career do if my MS is at
this stage,. i,.e. 3 years experience in Cognos and 2 years
MS program in and again looking for job in U.S. Have I been
too late in taking the call? I heard that MIS (Managing
Information Systems) is having very good placements now.
So guys, please advice me in taking the decision to have a
good career and also in terms of earning money as I have few
financial problems to solve (which I am hoping to solve when
I get job in US after completion of my MS program).
