In dimensional modeling what are attributes?

Individual data elements or characteristics that describe dimensions

It is a DM concept where it is considered to be a numeric measurements, represent

business activity or event.
Fact

Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP) is known for its scalability.

False

What is the main difference between OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) and OLAP
(Online Analytical Processing)?
OLTP is focused on real-time reporting, while OLAP is focused on historical
analysis

What is the main objective of dimensional modeling in data warehousing?

To create easily understandable and navigable models for reporting and analysis

What is the main purpose of data integration in the ETL process?

To combine data from different sources into a unified view

It is a form in which tables are in its format, no repeating groups and primary key is defined
(Abb. as mentioned in lecture).
1NF

Match the type of dimension table with its description:

Slowly Changing Dimension Table
Used to track historical changes in dimensional properties across time, recording
changes in qualities such as customer information.
Role-Playing Dimension Table
A single dimension table used for multiple facts with different roles or
perspectives, often used for analyzing data related to dates.
Hierarchy Dimension Table
Provides the hierarchal connection between dimension characteristics, allowing
for data drilling down or rolling up.
Junk Dimension Table
Used to combine low-cardinality flags or indications into a single Dimension Table,
simplifying the schema design and boosting query efficiency.

Match the type of fact table with its description:

Transactional Fact Table
Stores information about specific events or transactions, saving granular, atomic-
level data.
Periodic Snapshot Fact Table
Collects aggregated data at regular intervals and saves summarized information
regarding a specific time period.
Accumulating Snapshot Fact Table
Captures the state or progress of a workflow, allowing the recording and analysis
of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Factless Fact Table
Includes foreign keys that correlate with Dimension Tables without measurements
or metrics, useful for tracking non-occurring events or combinations of
occurrences.

Which of the following is true about OLAP (Online Analytical Processing)?

OLAP enables users to analyze multidimensional data from different perspectives

What is data warehousing?

A technique used to organize and structure data for reporting and analysis
purposes
What is the purpose of denormalization in database design?
To improve query performance or simplify queries

Which type of OLAP server retrieves data on demand through user-submitted queries?
Relational OLAP

It is a process of decomposing the relational table into smaller ones.

NORMALIZATION

What is the main difference between a data mart and a data warehouse?
A data warehouse is a centralized repository of integrated data from various
sources, while a data mart is a subset of a data warehouse focused on a specific
business area or department

Which of the following is a characteristic of a fact table in dimensional modeling?

Stores quantitative data about a business process or event

It is a form in second NF with no transitive dependencies (Abb. as mentioned in lecture).
