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

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
