What’s in it: Data Model, High Level Data Modeler Responsibilities along with images of a conceptual data model, logical data model and physical Data Model is explained using Erwin Data Modeling Tool. Video Tutorial 2: Explain Data Modeling Development Life Cycle? What’s in…
Entity Relationship Diagram (also called as ER Diagram, ER Model, ERD) contains entities/attributes and relationships with those entities. ER Model is a methodological approach to create entities in normalized forms to minimise redundancy. It is drawn with the use of Data Modeling Tools and the following steps are done to create the entity relationship diagram. Understanding…

Challenges & Solutions in Data Modeling: Anyone can Learn Data Modeling Concepts by reading some books or going through online or by getting some help from experts in the field. But practically, while working with a particular Data Model, there may arise many challenging situations where one has to think about various possibilities and requirements,…
Fact Table | Star Schema: The centralized table in a star schema is called as FACT table. A fact table typically has two types of columns: those that contain facts and those that are foreign keys to dimension tables. The primary key of a fact table is usually a composite key that is made up…
Snowflake Schema: A snowflake schema is a term that describes a star schema structure normalized through the use of outrigger tables. i.e dimension table hierarchies are broken into simpler tables. In Star Schema example we had 4 dimensions like location, product, time, organization and a fact table (sales). In Snowflake schema, the example diagram shown…
Star Schema: General Information In general, an organization is started to earn money by selling a product or by providing service to the product. An organization may be at one place or may have several branches. When we consider an example of an organization selling products throughout the world, the main four major dimensions are…
What are Slowly Changing Dimensions? Dimensions that change over time are called Slowly Changing Dimensions. For instance, a product price changes over time; People change their names for some reason; Country and State names may change over time. These are a few examples of Slowly Changing Dimensions since some changes are happening to them over a…
In a relational data model, for normalization purposes, year lookup, quarter lookup, month lookup, and week lookups are not merged as a single table. In a dimensional data modeling (star schema), these tables would be merged as a single table called TIME DIMENSION for performance and slicing data. This dimensions helps to find the sales…
