wht is degenerated dimension ?it's uses?

Answer Posted / kranthi.kunta

Degenerate dimension: A column of the key section of the
fact table that does not have the associated dimension
table but used for reporting and analysis, such column is
called degenerate dimension or line item dimension.
For ex, we have a fact table with customer_id, product_id,
branch_id, employee_id, bill_no, date in key section and
price, quantity, amount in measure section. In this fact
table, bill_no from key section is a single value, it has
no associated dimension table. Instead of cteating a
seperate 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.
