I'm new to that topic. I've got a database with a flat fact table, which contain data like date, product group
, product subgroup
, product actual name
, and some calculations/statistics
. All I need to do is create a report using olap cube. I have got two ideas how to create that, but dont know which draft is better (if even correct). The original DAILY_REPORT... table has not a primary key. Its just a data table. In first concept I have created every table (which will be as a dimension) with a ID
, and connected the product->family of product->project->building
in a hierarchy. Another concept is without all ID's and hierarchy. Relation created automatically based on names. Can somebody explain me in which direction I should tend...?
