When should you use a STAR and when a SNOW-FLAKE schema?

Answer Posted / nethaji

We use star schema when the query involves few joins and for
better performance.here data is denormalized.
Snow-flake schema is an extension of star where the
dimensions are divided into hierarchy of dimensions.eg: time
dimension.
time->year->month->day
For complex joins we go for snow-flake.performance is little
bit slower due to no. of joins.Here data is normalized.
