Dimensional Modeling
Dimensional modeling is a pragmatic modeling paradigm for analytical databases and data warehouses. It organizes data into fact and dimension tables (star or snowflake schema) to optimize query performance, analytical usability, and understandability. Key concerns include grain, conformed dimensions, and slowly changing dimensions. It supports fast aggregations and clear reporting paths.
