what is degenerated dimension table with scenario
Answer Posted / sruthi
Dimension which has only a single attribute. This dimension is typically represented as a single field in a fact table.The data items thar are not facts and data items that do not fit into the existing dimensions are termed as Degenerate Dimensions.
In below Fact Table with customer_id, product_id, bill_no, date in key section and price, quantity in measure section. In this fact table, bill_no from key section is a single value, it has no associated dimension table. Instead of creating a separate dimension table for that single value, we can include it in fact table to improve performance. So here the column, bill_no is a degenerate dimension or line item dimension

I have worked on Informatica 7.1.1. I want to know the answer for the below question. Target is not created initially.Then how to take the DDL script from the source and run the Mapping by creating the Target dynamically?Is it possible by SQL Transformation?
Hi, I saw one mapping implemented by my seniors . In Expression transformation they implemented following logic. That is iif(is_date(in_UC_DATINV,'YYYYMMDD'),to_date(in_UC_DATINV,'Y YYYMMDD'),'Inventory Date is either invalid or null') Inventory_Date is validated only for is_date() But not validated for notisnull() . But error says “ either invalid or null “ why? Whether is_date() also check for not isnull() ? or in this logic something is different ? Please answer me . Advance thanks
