If I have table T1 and table T2
T1 has 250 cols and 10,000 rows
T2 has 2 billion rows and 10 cols
Which one would be Fact table and which one would be
Dimension table and why ?
Answer Posted / henry
Dimensions are wide - facts are deep.
T1 will be dimension table (example "customer" with all the
related attributes like address, tel etc)
T2 will be your fact table (example "orders") which uses
one column as surrogate key to link to T1 ("customers" in
this case)
