Objectives
After completing this lesson, you should be able to:
Describe normalized and denormalized table structures in
database designs
Add multiple sources to a logical table source (LTS) for a
dimension in the business model
Add a second logical table source to a dimension in the
business model
6-2
Table Structures
Normalized table structure:
Consists of many tables where data has been split or
normalized
Is used for inserts and updates
Does not work well for queries that perform business data
analysis
6-3
Business Challenge
Data may be spread across several physical tables and needs
to be mapped to a single logical table.
6-4
Business Solution
Model multiple physical sources for the logical table:
Add multiple sources to an LTS.
Where data is not duplicated across tables
