Why Star Schema is de-normalized? Please explain in detail
probably with some examples.

Answer Posted / aq

Because, we use Star schema to analyse the data and for that we need fast access of that data.
if the schema is normalized then it will have more joins and will take more time retrieve the data from source, which will cause the reporting / analysis slow.
Hence to faster access of the data Star Schema is de-normalized

In the administration i have set the ODBC connection and it tested successfully.If i copy the samples to the appropriate directory then i can see the samples.But I don't know how to do the same thing with my own database "TestingDB". As i have configure the cognos in my company which is having a database (very near to production database).I am a novice in cognos. Please help me out.
