Hi,

Could any one tell me which schema (star and snow flake
schema) will take much space?

Thanks
S.A.K

Answer Posted / kranthi.kunta

Star flake schema will take more space than snow flake
schema.
Snow flake schema approach increases the number of joins
and results poor performance in data retrieval. In few
organizations, they try to normalize the dimension tables
to save space.
