  1. SQL Server Dimensional Modeling: A Practical Guide Welcome! This presentation offers a practical guide to SQL Server Dimensional Modeling. We'll explore the benefits for US businesses. Gain insights into key components, schemas, and implementation.

  2. Key Components: Facts and Dimensions Fact Tables Central table. Stores measures like Sales Amount. Example: SalesFact table. Dimension Tables Descriptive attributes for context. Examples: DimProduct, DimCustomer. Granularity Detail level for facts/dimensions. Daily vs. monthly sales.

  3. Star Schema: The Foundation Simple Structure Widely used. 1 Single Fact Table Surrounded by dimensions. 2 Easy to Understand Efficient querying. 3

  4. Snowflake Schema: Normalized Approach Reduced Redundancy Data integrity improved. 2 1 Normalized Dimensions Sub-dimensions exist. Complex Queries Potential performance hit. 3

  5. Implementing in SQL Server Use SSMS For table creation. 1 ETL Processes For data loading. 2 Use SSIS Automated ETL workflows. 3

  6. Best Practices in the USA Schema Choice Star or Snowflake? Optimize Indexes Improve performance. Data Cleansing Regular maintenance. USA Regulations Consider PCI compliance.
