When should you use a STAR and when a SNOW-FLAKE schema?

Answer Posted / malli

usually star schema is the best option for end users due to
its simple design and navigation.
snow flaking is the process of normalizing the dimension
table.For example the customer dimension table usally will
have millons of rows.The updations will take palce
concerned to demographic information(city,place,..).By
snowflaking, these attribute can be seperated and put in
another dimension table, so the updations would be quite
easier.
