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

joins.

Occupies more space
Highly Denormalized

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.

Due to large number of joins it is complex to navigate
Starflake schema - Hybrid structure that contains a mixture
