what is the difference between aggregate table and fact
table ? how do you load these two tables ?
Answer Posted / harshad
A fact table typically has two types of columns: those that
contain numeric facts (often called measurements), and
those that are foreign keys to dimension tables. A fact
table contains either detail-level facts or facts that have
been aggregated. Fact tables that contain aggregated facts
are often called summary tables or aggregated fact. A fact
table usually contains facts with the same level of
aggregation. Though most facts are additive, they can also
be semi-additive or non-additive. Additive facts can be
aggregated by simple arithmetical addition. A common
example of this is sales. Non-additive facts cannot be
added at all. An example of this is averages. Semi-additive
facts can be aggregated along some of the dimensions and
not along others. An example of this is inventory levels,
where you cannot tell what a level means simply by looking
at it.
