Answer Posted / krishnakumari
Star Schema:
Definition: The star schema is the simplest data warehouse
schema. It is called a star schema because the diagram
resembles a star with points radiating from a center.
A single Fact table (center of the star) surrounded by
multiple dimensional tables(the points of the star).
Advantages:
Simplest DW schema
Easy to understand
Easy to Navigate between the tables due to less number of
joins.
Most suitable for Query processing
Disadvantages:
Occupies more space
Highly Denormalized
Snowflake schema:
Definition: A Snowflake schema is a Data warehouse Schema
which consists of a single Fact table and multiple
dimensional tables. These Dimensional tables are
normalized.A variant of the star schema where each
dimension can have its own dimensions.
Advantages:
These tables are easier to maintain
Saves the storage space.
Disadvantages:
Due to large number of joins it is complex to navigate
Starflake schema - Hybrid structure that contains a mixture
of (denormalized) STAR and (normalized) SNOWFLAKE schemas
