CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

Design a gold layer star schema for retail sales performance analysis, with a fact table for transactions and dimension tables for date, product, store, and customer.

Key decisions

  • Use surrogate keys for each dimension to decouple from source systems.
  • Include a transaction_id in the fact table to link back to operational systems.
  • Define relationships with mandatory one-to-many cardinalities from fact to dimensions.

When to reuse this

When building a dimensional model for retail sales reporting in a data warehouse or lakehouse environment.
