logical dimension tables can be associated with at most one dimension
object. Common dimensions might be time periods, products, markets,
Live Traffic customers, suppliers, promotion conditions, raw materials,
manufacturing plants, transportation methods, media types, and time of

1. Dimensions with levelbased hierarchies (structure hierarchies).
2. Dimensions with parentchild hierarchies (value hierarchies). Blog Archive
