explain different types of modeling.

Answer Posted / kshatri

There are again types of modeling:
Data modeling,
Dimension Modeling,
Multidimensional Modeling
Physical Model
Locial Model

Data Modeling: Data modeling is the process of designing a
data base model. In this data model data will be stored in
two types of table fact table, dimension table fact table
contains the transaction data, and dimension table contains
the master data

Dimensional Modeling: It is a logical design technique that
seeks to present the data in a standard, intuitive
framework that allows for high-performance access. There
are different data modelings concepts like ER Modeling
(Entity Relationship modeling), DM (Dimensional modeling),
Hierarchal Modelling, Network modelling.But popular are ER
and DM only

During the logical design phase, you defined a model for
your data warehouse consisting of entities, attributes, and
relationships. The entities are linked together using
relationships.

During the physical design process, you translate the
expected schemas into actual database structures. At this
time, you have to map:
• Entities to tables
• Relationships to foreign key constraints
• Attributes to columns
• Primary unique identifiers to primary key
constraints
• Unique identifiers to unique key constraints
