Star schema: Classical star schema is a multidimensional data model. Based on a central fact table surrounded by several dimension tables int he shape of star schema, hence the name An infocube consists of several info-objects (characteristics and key figures) and is structured accordning to the star schema. This means that there is a large fact table with key figures for the infocube, as well as many dimension table surround is structure which appears like star. Extended star schema: In extended star schema, "Fact table" and "master data table" is connected through SID (Surrogate ID) table. In extended star schema, fact table and dimension table will be inside the cube. It has analyzing capacity of 16*248 (SID table). Fact table is small and dimension table is huge contrary to star schema model. Under the extended star schema model, the dimension table do not contain master data.
