Follow on Google News | What is Dimensions Tables in Oracle?Dimension objects are widely used in data warehousing database. Article explains characteristics of dimension object.
Data in a data warehouse typically represents various hierarchical structures. One example would be the time relationship of data, which might be of the form of decade, year, quarter, month, week, day, hour, and so on. These types of relationships generally are used in data warehouse queries to roll up or drill down to more or less detail as needed. Oracle has introduced an object called a dimension that allows you to define these relationships in tables. Oracle then uses these dimension relationship definitions to more effectively rewrite queries and to determine if a materialized view can best be used. Although Oracle can rewrite queries without the presence of dimensions, the definition of dimensions makes the query rewrite process much more versatile. The use of dimensions allows the query rewrite to move beyond SQL checking of the query’s SELECT clause and its join conditions in the WHERE clause; with dimensions, the query rewrite can look at the summary grouping and also other operations. http://www.dbametrix.com/ During database services of data warehousing, you need to take care of dimension object very carefully.
