Descriptions:
Aggregate tables (_A)
dimension tables to support a many-to-many (M:M) relationship between fact and dimension
records.
Map dimension tables (_M)
the external data ID and the internal ID.
A fact table in the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse has a surrogate key only if the records in
the fact table need to be updated or if the fact table has an aggregate table on top of it.
Dimension Class Tables are physical tables that store multiple logical entities that have similar
attributes.
Mini Dimension Tables is a smaller subset of dimension tables based on frequency of usage to
speed up the query performance. Mini Dimensions can be views/materialized views on top of
large dimensions or Dimension Class tables depending on refresh schedules of the parent
dimensions. Example: W_RESPONSE_D dimension has W_RESPONSE_MD, W_AGREE_MD,
W_ASSET_MD, W_OPTY_MD etc.
Types of hierarchical tables in OBAW are structured hierarchy and parent-child hierarchy tables.
While the former has defined number of levels, the later does not.
