GENERATION OF STAR SCHEMAS FROM SNOWFLAKE SCHEMAS CONTAINING A LARGE NUMBER OF DIMENSIONS

摘要

An aspect of the present invention simplifies generating a star schema from a snowflake schema. In an embodiment, a user first specifies fact tables to be included in a star schema, and a synchronization tool inspects the snowflake schema to determine the dimension tables linked to the specified fact tables. The determined dimension tables are included in the star schema sought to be generated.
