What are Fact tables and Dimension Tables?

Answer Posted / mallika

A fact table typically has two types of columns: those that
contain facts and those that are foreign keys to dimension
tables. facts may be composed of measures,degenerated
dimensions.The primary key of a fact table is usually a
composite key that is made up of all of its foreign keys

Dimension tables, also known as lookup or reference tables,
contain the relatively static data in the warehouse.
Dimension tables store the information you normally use to
contain queries. Dimension tables are usually textual and
descriptive and you can use them as the row headers of the
result set. Examples are customers or products
