wht is degenerated dimension ?it's uses?
Answer Posted / nethaji
When a Fact table has dimension value stored it is called
degenerated dimension.Since a fact table doesn't store
textual items ,it should be stored in varchar datatype.
Why we are going?
Instead of maintaining a separate dimension table with
single values ,for eg.customer_policy_details='paid' ,we
can store it in fact table ,for performance.
